Serial port recording ?
Archiver
Posts: 46,084
Hi,
I have two DCF 77-clock-module (ELV.de) with serial connecter to the PC.
including the "time program"
I would like to connect it to the stamp, but can't get the protocol
how it communicate with the PC.
Is there a program who record the serial port of the PC ??
Then may be I can find out how I could connect the DCF 77-modul
to my Stamp?
Somebody knows a link or has an idea how I could start?
Thanks Heinz Germany

Be sure to download the excel spreadsheet to convert binary back to
hex.)

Hi
This may not be exactly applicable but check out the BASIC STAMP DAQ
(data acquisition) - it is on the download tab at parallax.com.
It is a VB macro within an excel spreadsheet, which reads input from
a serial port (e.g. stamp, other device), and records the input on
the spreadsheet.
I've made some tweaks to it so I can send signifcant ammounts of
information down to the device as well as receiving it, so if that
is a problem for you let me know and I can send you my 'tweak' code.
Depending on whether you are using shiftin/out or serin/out you may
end up with race condition problems (i.e. the serial device sends
information before the pc is ready for it and vice versa). If using
serin/out make sure you understand the use of the timeout function
really clearly. This cost me a week or so of confusion.
Hope that helps.
