I am trying to write to a little stepu stepper motor controller.
The problem I have is as follows
this code works serout 10,baud,[noparse][[/noparse]"{E-200}"]
THE STEPPER MOVES IN A - DIRECTION 200 STEPS
What I want to do is put the -200 in a varable
serout 10,baud,[noparse][[/noparse]"{EA}"]
that = -200
examp a = -200
debug sdec a = -200
debug a = 8
wont let me do a = sdec -200
DOES PBASIC HAVE SOME CODE FOR STORING A SIGNED DEC# IN A VAR.
I APPRECIATE ANY HELP
THANKS MAX
