How to Send Data To computer Serial Port
Archiver
Posts: 46,084
Hello,
I am trying to send data to a computer with my STAMP2 SX. I am Using
Serout, and Visual Basic.
I can successfuly communicate, but all I recieve is strange chars.
How do I send a char to the computer? Binary? Octal?
The port settings are correct.
I tried sending, for instance, the letter P. I can't send serout "p"
or the ASCII equiv.
HELP!
Aaron

I have just gone through this whole headache myself with my BSII.
First thing, are you using pin 16 (standard serial out pin on stamp) or any
other pin? The reason I ask is that if you look up the values you are
supposed to be using in the manual I think you will find there are two
different values for inverted and non-inverted. If you are using pin 16 then
you will want to use the inverted value, otherwise you will want to use the
non-inverted value.
I have been using the ASCII values for the characters I have been outputing.
For example to out put the character 'A' on pin 1 on my BSII I use the
following code:
serout 1,813,[noparse][[/noparse]65]
Hope this helps,
Kind regards,
