EMIC2 and FOR NEXT loop question

gpierson

Hello to all...newbie here. I'm playing around with my kids Boe Bot (since he's not using it!) and I bought a Sensirion SHT11 and the EMIC2.

At some point I'd like to program code that allows the EMIC2 to speak the temp at an interval (e.g. every 10 min).

I've started out playing with the EMIC2 to just say a simple value. I've tried to program it to say the value of the counter in this 0 to 10 loop. But here's the ineresting thing...it skips 1 and 6 every time! Does anyone have any ideas why it might be doing this?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts ideas!

SEROUT EMIC_TX, EmicBaud, ["S", DEC counter, CR]

Try inserting this line after the serout

SERIN EMIC_RX, EmicBaud, [WAIT(":")] ' Wait here until the Emic 2 responds with a ":" indicating it's ready to accept the next command

When Emic 2 is ready to receive commands, it will send a “:” to the host.
