Reading Serial Data FROM BS2 Stamp.
Archiver
Posts: 46,084
Hi,
quick questions. If I parsed data with the BS2 from a GPS unit via
SERIN, and then use the SEROUT commands to send the information
through a transmitter:
1)Does the basic stamp encode the information?
When the information is recieved through a reciever, it is then sent
through a maxim chip which makes the proper serial interface for the
computer.
2)Do I need another basic stamp on the recieving end, to understand
the information comming from the transmitting end?
3)What programs would you recommend to read the information directly
off the serial port, in a legible form, and save the information to a
file? I have tried using HYPERTERM reading directly from COM1, and
the characters displayed are not legible to me, i get a lot of weird
looking p's i's and y's (the ones with the dots over them)but i can
recognize the data pattern.
I think you awesome people can answer these [noparse]:)[/noparse]
thanks!
