SEROUT Command to PINK (Parallax Internet Network Kit)

DosEdge · 2007-02-05 19:32

I am trying to send repetitive information to the PINK.· Below is the portion that I am trying to use to do it.

The code· increments through the EEPROM (0-11) receiving the data,then sends it to the PINK's variables to be displayed in a web page through the SEROUT command through each iterations.

FOR i=0 TO 11
READ i, Update
SEROUT 0,396,[noparse][[/noparse]"!NB0Wi:",DEC Update,CLS]
DEBUG· DEC Update,CR
NEXT

Try this instead:

FOR i = 0 TO 11
  READ i, Update
  SEROUT 0, 396, [noparse][[/noparse]"!NB0W", DEC i, ":", DEC Update, CLS]
  DEBUG DEC Update, CR
NEXT

In your code, the "i" was being sent as a literal, rather than a value.

The code does not transfer the content in the EEPROM to the PINK. Instead, it sends the loop iteration value. I declared all PINK's variable in the html <Nb_var0> - <Nb_var11>. I receive the results 0 0. Think I will have to hardcode the program with twelve SEROUT commands to send the content to each of the PINK variable using a modulus position inside a for loop.

I just referred to the manual, and it looks like the leading zero in the variable designator is necessary. So try this instead:

FOR i = 0 TO 11
  READ i, Update
  SEROUT 0, 396, [noparse][[/noparse]"!NB0W", DEC2 i, ":", DEC Update, CLS]
  DEBUG DEC Update, CR
NEXT

Trust me: you won't have to hard code anything. The loop will work.

PhilPhi, Can you explain to me what is going on inside the brackets?

PhilPi
FOR·i·=·0·TO·11
··READ·i,·Update
··SEROUT·0,·396,·[noparse][[/noparse]"!NB0W",·DEC2·i,·":",·DEC·Update,·CLS]
··DEBUG·DEC·Update,·CR
NEXT

DEC2 formatter designate that value of i sould be two digits.· Once I hardcode the twelve variables in the html page, will the BS2 use the loop with the SEROUT command to send the content of twelve positions in the EEPROM (0-11) to the those twelve variables in the html page.· Why did you separate the command in the brackets?

Phil Pilgrim (PhiPi) · 2007-02-06 01:48

If you want to see firsthand what the formatting does, try this:

DEBUG CR
FOR i = 0 TO 11
  READ i, Update
  SEROUT 16, 84, [noparse][[/noparse]"!NB0W", DEC2 i, ":", DEC Update, CR]
NEXT

This will print the same data to the debug window that the PINK would see, except that each line ends with a CR, rather than a CLS, so you can see all the output. Hopefully, seeing it in action will make everything clear.

Phil Pilgrim I do not have access to the internet at home, so I will go examine the example that you have given me. If I have any other questions. I will PM to ask or not I will continue with this post.

Thank You for your help so far,

The code works PhilPi! Thank you so much! Do you have any experience with the SLEEP command and the DS1620 thermometer sensor?
