SEROUT - SERIN Question

Archiver

Hi,
I'm trying to communicate between two BS2 stamps. I have a WORD
variable in one side and am trying to send it to the other other
stamp.

Stamp1:
Test1 VAR Word
Test1 = 65000
SEROUT 1\0 16468 [noparse][[/noparse]Test1]

Stamp2:
Test2 VAR Word
SERIN 1\0 16468 [noparse][[/noparse]Test2]
DEBUG DEC Test2


I don't get 65000 popping up in Stamp2's debug window. I tried
formatting the output and input using BIN16, DEC5, etc but it didn't
work. I used the Demo program in the book to send "HELLO" and it
worked fine. Do I have to manually break the word I want to send into
bytes?

You have to send the Word one Byte at a time:

SEROUT pin, baud, [noparse][[/noparse]myWord.BYTE0, myWord.BYTE1]

Of course, you must receive a Byte at a time as well. This might be
helpful:
