rs-232 problems using pulsin/pulsout
Archiver
Posts: 46,084
I would like to communicate with my bs2 and/or bs1 via a rs-232 cable
but have had no luck when using the pulsin/pulsout commands unless I
use pins states 16-31 (for the bs2). All the examples I've seen
state that I should be able to use 0, 1, or 2, ... but I can't get
this to work. I've put a 22kohm resistor in series for the I/O
connection to avoid sending more than 5 volts over the cable. I'm
trying to use hyperterminal and it does work when I use "DEBUGIN" so
I have all the setting correct for ht.
here's code that works:
***********************
baudmode CON 84 'serial code to set baudrate
'for the BSII baudmode(noninverted):
9600=>84
'see page 277 BASIC Stamp Manual
'Initialize
indata VAR Byte(6)
i VAR Byte
indata(6) = 0
i = 0
DEBUG CLS, "starting...", CR
'Basic I/O loop
top:
'serin works for 16 - 31
SERIN 32, baudmode, [noparse][[/noparse]STR indata\5\CR] 'get command either after
'5 characters or carraige
RETURN
SEROUT 32, baudmode,[noparse][[/noparse]CR] 'send carraige return
SEROUT 32, baudmode,[noparse][[/noparse]STR indata, ", index= ", DEC i, CR] 'send
response
i = i + 1
GOTO top

not work with BS1), you must specify pin 16 in your program. If you
consult the online Help for DEBUG and DEBUGIN you will see that it shows
the equivalent SEROUT and SERIN instructions for using the programming
port.

doc) that the programming port wasn't a full featured serial port
that would allow for commands such as
serout N, baudmode, [noparse][[/noparse]"test"]
where N is 0-15 and baudmode is bps for BS2
This must mean that I'll need to add a serial connector to my board
and attached to some serout pin to communicate through something like
hyperterminal without specifying pin 16?
Would you suggest that I go in the direction of your online pdf
document for "RS-232 DCE AppMod (#29120)? It states that I should be
able to select any available stamp I/O pin for serial connections.
Thanks. I was getting concerned that I had burnt out some of the
pins while exploring serout (and serin with resistor).

and understand that the programming port has an level-shifter/inverter
on it to make it more friendly with the external RS-232 world (when you
use DEBUG and DEBUGIN, you're doing SEROUT and SERIN on pin 16 at 9600
baud).
Just understand that the design of the level shifter on the programming
port "borrows" power from the RS-232 line, so anything sent to the that
port gets echoed back. To deal with this in HyperTerminal just turn off
the local display. Then, when you press a key in HyperTerminal, its
appearance on your screen means that it went to the BASIC Stamp and was
echoed back.
If the echo is a hassle or you want to add flow-control, the RS-232
AppMod will take care of that for you -- but you'll be using at least
two (four with FC) of your BASIC Stamp IO pins.

Ok, I've have that working. I hadn't realized (from reading many
doc) that the programming port wasn't a full featured serial port
that would allow for commands such as

where N is 0-15 and baudmode is bps for BS2
