SERIN hell no, it won't go

lee555

I would like to send 3 or 4 values to my stamp (bs2)
sendings is not the problem, receiving is the problem
send in vb (
value1=x······· ( ASCII)
value2=190···· (0-200)
value3=195···· (0-200)
value4=116···· (0-200)
total_value as string· = value1 & value2 & ......
) ok


'

---

Main:
· SERIN 16,$4054,PAUSEit,500,PAUSEit,[noparse][[/noparse]DEC3 val2,DEC3 val3,DEC3 val4]

·· DEBUG Val2,Val3,Val4,":"
··· PAUSE 20
GoTo Main··

Main:

What are you sending from?!· A PC?· what's the baud rate and protocol you're trying to get (N81..etc..).

Umm, if you are sending the 4 bytes mentioned, you should recieve them as:

SERIN 16, $4054, [noparse][[/noparse]Val1, Val2, Val3, Val4]

THEN, you can see them as:

SEROUT 16, $4054, [noparse][[/noparse]Val1, DEC Val2, DEC Val3, DEC Val4]

Where 'Val1' would be the "x" character, and the others would be converted into
their decimal equivalents -- Byte '190' becomes 3 string bytes "190".

This assumes you ARE sending them as bytes from your PC originally.

The "SERIN xxx,yyy,[noparse][[/noparse]DEC MyVal] reads a 'string' with a CR after it, converts it
to a decimal number, and puts the decimal number into MyVal.

You had the right idea, just the wrong order of implementation.

Oh, and what did you intend by "val1 = (x y z)"?· You've left out your operators, there.

Hmmm ... I've used VB to send data to the BASIC Stamp with great success. Have a look at this article:
