What is a subroutine name.

bbrien

I added a new pub serial to my earlier post but got an error."must have a subroutine name" . Below is a new pub serial offending code is Getlong

pub  serial
   ser.str( string("value1:"))
   ser.Dec(EW_PLS)
   ser.str( string("value2:"))
   ser.Dec(EW_Dir)
   ser.str( string("value3:"))
   ser.Dec(SN_PLS)
   ser.str( string("value4:"))
   ser.Dec(SN_Dir)

   ewpulse := ser.Getlong
   outa[EW_Dir] := Getlong
   nspulse := ser.Getlong
   outa[NS_Dir] := ser.Getlong

Why don't you post the entire code you have now, instead of a few lines here and there. I have a two prop working code full duplex. In the code I use any two pins Tx and Rx., not through the FT231, they self syn. pretty reliable if you boot up the two props from the same power supply.

The earlier full code is about mid page On page five.The two arrre on same power sourse separated by 2 meters.

I"m glad you made it easy

This code compiles. I had to comment out some of your unassigned variables. Use Full duplex serial "plus"
for the Getlong Putlong etc.

I don't understand unassigned variables ,i wanted all variables listed .Two variables for each motor . Two bytes for the ascension motor(1 pulse and 1 direction) and two for the declination I tried to compile but the compiler can't find FullDuplexSerialPlus in ythe library or in the work folder. How do I find And install. I checked the github repository but didn't understand it.

DigitalBob

I modified and ran your code. The button pins work, for example if you pull pin 6 to high your get 50 hz. PWM on pin 16. I ran the serial on its own cog and you can view it on the Tera. terminal or Putty. In your serial code you have ser.Dec(NS_Dir) etc. all that shows is the pin number from your CON #15 and not its state wether it's high or low.
Anyway here is the Full duplex plus. You will have to figure it out. I'm just a fellow nerd on here offering advice. If you want custom working code to your specs. that cost $$$$.

I have found copies of "FullDuplexSerialPlus.spin and have been trying to install them into the prop.tool 1.3.2 library but no luck. how do I do this.

I copied the FullDuplexSerialplus.spin from the post above to my downloads folder (I'm using Windows 10).

Then I copied it from there to the following folder:
:\Program Files (x86)\Parallax Inc\Propeller Tool v1.3.2\Library

When I tried to paste it in the library folder I got a message saying only an administrator could paste in that folder. I am an administrator so I just continued.

If I wasn't an admin, I also saved it by right clicking on it in the downloads folder and clicking on "open with Propeller Tool".
It opened and then I saved it by clicking on "file" "save to" "propeller library".

Hope this helps.

It's already in my Download folder so I'll try the rest. thanks

A question about the pic or two or more. 1;can either pic act as a slave on I2C? 2; what would I need to program the pic and where do I get the pbasic compiler( from Parallax downloads maybe?). 3; Can I use thePic 16F1938.
