I/O from Hyperterm vs Debug window.

spag

Hi,

I am writing a couple of embedded apps that need occasional user interaction via a serial connection.

From a development point of view the Debug window is ideal, but the end user is only going to have access to Hyperterm - or similar.


Formatting the output to look OK in either isn't a problem, but input is another issue...

I can read chars from the Debug window using DEBUGIN and SERIALIN, but from Hyperterm I am getting nothing

Port settings are the same in Debug as Hyperterm (9600,8,N,1, no flow)

Any 'idiot gotchas' I should be looking out for ?


Many thanks

Spag

You might need to mess around with the other settings in Hyperterm such as ascii & emulation. It's a bit non-intuitive to configure.

In fact, I tried to get it sending so I could give you a better idea of the settings, and it just sort of hung there.

So, if you're interested in something else, you can try a program called Terminal by Br@y++, which you can find via Google.

Mind you -- Hyperterminal is only suitable for exchanging ASCII (e.g. Hyperterm can't send $00; $00 won't show up if a STAMP sends it.)
