Timeout parameter with SERIN

paolo

Hi

Is it possible to use SERIN with a word variable for the Timeout parameter?
I've tried to do that with the SX48, but it seems that the compiler·doesn't set the internal parameters __PARAM1 and __PARAM2.

I'm using the SXB Ver. 1.51.03.

Thank you.

No the timeout value can only be a byte. You'll have to put the SERIN inside a loop and use another variable to get a longer timeout.

Somthing like this:

timeout1 = 200
timeout2 = 200
 
TryAgain:
  DJNZ timeout2,TimedOut
  SERIN ...., timeout1, TryAgain
  ' Here if we received a byte  
 
TimedOut:
  ' Here if we timed out

Thank you Bean for your prompt reply.
I was confused by the online help which says: "Timeout is an optional byte or word variable/constant...".

I will try to put SERIN inside a loop, hoping that this way I will not miss any character.

Paolo,
Your right. It should allow a word variable, but it doesn't. I will fix that in the next release.
Note that you CAN use a word constant for the timeout.
