Emic2 speaks the commands instead of executing the commands ???

wperko

Using this Wait4Emic2: do/loop I decided to insert a sertxd line at each subroutine after the Emic2 command subroutine has been sent ... What's with the Emic2? It works great on two other chip types (BS2 and PICAXE 28X2)

Wait4Emic2:
do
hserin Emic2Ready
loop until Emic2Ready = 58
sertxd ("58 from the Emic2 and exited the doloop",cr,lf)
return


Here's what happened ... the responses from the Emic2 seem exactly correct, but the Emic2 is not performing the commands correctly so it reads the commands instead of executing the commands ... but it does see the "S" for speak in front of the text it should read and reads the text. The Emic2 didn't play Song1 either, it just skips over that to the next text string ???

Kit Command ; First command is sent before the Wait4Emic2: do/loop
58 from the Emic2 and exited the doloop
Slowest Command ; Working correctly here ...
58 from the Emic2 and exited the doloop
Speak1 Command ; Working correctly here ...
58 from the Emic2 and exited the doloop
Song1 Command ; Working correctly here ...
58 from the Emic2 and exited the doloop
Fast Command ; Working correctly here ...
58 from the Emic2 and exited the doloop
Harry Command ; Working correctly here ...
58 from the Emic2 and exited the doloop
Speak2 Command ; Working correctly here ...
58 from the Emic2 and exited the doloop
Kit Command ; Working correctly here ...
58 from the Emic2 and exited the doloop
Slowest Command ; Working correctly here ...
58 from the Emic2 and exited the doloop
Speak1 Command ; Working correctly here ...
58 from the Emic2 and exited the doloop
Song1 Command ; Working correctly here ...

I saw that you posted this on the PicAxe forum - a more appropriate place since it seems to be an issue between he various PicAxe chips.

Having to tweak code to work on the various PicAxe chips can be frustrating...

Hi,

Part of the problem is the Emic2 manual say's it sends either a ":" or a "?" as a response to input, but I'm also receiving "cr" characters ... I'm trying to find out what the Emic2 actually sends out ...
