Looking for help converting from PBASIC to SX/B

Martin Hebel

Hi all,
I'm looking for someone to help convert 3 small PBASIC programs over to SX/B (with the SX28), including sending/receiving serial data to a PC. This would be considered consulting work, and I will pay a small fee. I have a deadline coming up, but no time to do it.

If you can help out, please Email me at martin@selmaware.com

Thanks,
-Martin

Did you end up making some code snipets to interface the SX and Stamp Plot?. At the time you posted this, I thought there was something like that in the works, but I hadn't seen anything since.

Since SX Serout works differently than Pbasic, is it difficult to interface the SX with Stamp Plot?

Thanks

The only thing different about SX/B SEROUT is that it just accepts a single character. That's easy to adjust for, though, which is exactly what happens on the inside of the BASIC Stamp. I always put SEROUT into a subroutine so that it just gets compiled once, like this:

TX_BYTE:
  tmpB1 = __PARAM1
  SEROUT TX, Baud, tmpB1
  RETURN

Then I have another subroutine like this to send strings (a literal string or DATA label with a z-string is passed):

TX_STR:
  tmpW1 = __WPARAM12
  DO
    READINC tmpW1, tmpB1
    IF tmpB1 = 0 THEN EXIT
    TX_BYTE tmpB1
  LOOP
  RETURN

This is pretty simple code, and with a fast oscillator you can serial data at incredibly fast rates (I routinely use 115.2K).
