Serout / serin

Archiver

I've been using Serout and Serin in my projects successfully.
But I would like to gain a deeper understanding of these 2 commands.

Does anyone know where I can find some pseudo-code on how
serin/serout works at a particular baudmode setting such as 84?

This must be the most important command for communication.

Much thanks in advance.

Hi,

Here is a code snippet that I use to read in either a fixed length of
serial data or until I receive a specific character. I then parse
through the array and act on the data received. Hope this helps.

'*******************************************************************
' serin Rpin, Baudmode, [noparse][[/noparse]STR amuletMsg\L\E]
' serin = receive asynchronous serial data
' Rpin = Rx (instruct BASIC Stamp to use dedicated serial-input pin)
' Baudmode = 84 (9600 baud, 8-bit data, no-parity, true polarity)
' [noparse][[/noparse]STR amuletMsg\L\E] = receive serial data of length L or until end
' character E is received into amuletMsg array
'
' The command serin Rx, 84, [noparse][[/noparse]STR amuletMsg\L\E]
' will poll the serial line looking for serial data up to length L or
' until end character E is encountered.
' Incoming data will be stored in the amuletMsg array.
'*******************************************************************
serial_in:
SERIN Rx, 84, [noparse][[/noparse]STR amuletMsg\6\0]
