Pass word array to method

Tumbler

Hi

How can i send an array of words to this method?

PRI WriteLine(data)| char  
    repeat strsize(data)                        'Iterate over the string.
    char := byte[data++]
    writeSerNoLatch(getChardata(char))        'get char data and send to shiftregisters
  Latch

Use the @ operator or the string() function to pass the address of your character array. Note that by using strsize in the routine, your array must be terminated with zero.

So this will work?(can't test at this moment)
And what if data[2] is zero?

PUB Main | data[8]
  data[0] := 100
  data[1] := 1024
  ...
  data[7] := 32768


  data[8]:= 0  'zero termination?


  WriteLine(data)



PRI WriteLine(data)| char  repeat strsize(data)                        'Iterate over the string.
    char := byte[data++]
    writeSerNoLatch(getChardata(char))        'get char data and send to shiftregisters
  Latch

Not even remotely close.

Are you attempting to put numbers in a display? If so, we'll need to know more about it.

This is the problem with program fragments that don't provide an explanation or context -- it forces those of us that would help you into being mind readers, something none of us is particularly good at.
