carriage return

Owen

Can anyone tell me how I can send a carriage return after a string using fullDuplexSerial or Extend_FDSerial?

Thanks,
Owen

Look at the PC_Debug object. It should give you a starting point.

You could also look up "CR" in the ascii chart and send out the Hexidecimal equivalent. Sorry, don't know where to find you one of the charts though. I have mine from the text book that comes with the EB500 bluetooth manuel. I think it's possibly $13, but I'm not sure!

To send a carriage return:
serial.tx(13)

Owen,

if youare using the 'FullDuplexSerial' object i.e

OBj
ser:"FullDuplexSerial"


ser.start(8, 7, 2, 9600) 'rxpin,txpin,mode,Baudrate
ser.str(string("Test String",13))

replace '13' with a '10' for line feed

or for carriage return and line feed

ser.start(8, 7, 2, 9600)
ser.str(string("Test String",13,10))


and if you just wanted to output an actual decimal number -

ser.dec(123)

note that you cannot add a CR in this line - so just follow that line with
ser.str(string(13))

Having posted my first reply I remembered a recent incident here,
It may save you and others some debug time ....


Part2:

One of the lads here in the workshop had a problem - his code was fine but was getting
oddball characters at output - he had inadvertently changed the _xinfreq = 6_000_000

when it should have been -

CON
_clkmode = xtal1 + pll16x
_xinfreq = 5_000_000



a quick check in the 'FullDuplexSerial' object explained it all -
the following is Pub Start from 'FullDuplexSerial'

---

PUB start(rxpin, txpin, mode, baudrate) : okay

'' Start serial driver - starts a cog
'' returns false if no cog available
''
'' mode bit 0 = invert rx
'' mode bit 1 = invert tx
'' mode bit 2 = open-drain/source tx
'' mode bit 3 = ignore tx echo on rx

stop
longfill(@rx_head, 0, 4)
longmove(@rx_pin, @rxpin, 3)
bit_ticks := clkfreq / baudrate
buffer_ptr := @rx_buffer
okay := cog := cognew(@entry, @rx_head) + 1

---

note: the bit_ticks calculation ..............................

not related to your problem - which I hope by now you have sorted (hope 1st reply helped)
but worth noting all the same....
