Requesting and Receiving Info from PINK

MikeS

Hello,
I am trying to figure out the best way to convert PBasic_BS2·code·for the PINK module to SXB.

For example:
SEROUT PO,p_baud,[noparse][[/noparse]"!NB0W01:",DEC dat,CLS] 'send·data to PINK

I have SXB subroutines for transmitting (serout) the following types of data;
TX_BYTE··SUB·1···' transmit a byte
TX_STR··SUB·2···' transmit a string
TX_BIN··SUB·1, 3···' tx value in BIN format
TX_HEX··SUB·1, 3···' tx value in HEX format
TX_DEC··SUB·1, 3···' tx value in DEC format

I was thinking of doing something like this...

TX_STR "!NBOW01:"
TX_DEC dat
TX_STR "CLS"

I am a little confused about the CLS because it is a reserved word for the DEBUG command in PBASIC and it is highlighted in the PBASIC editor.

Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.

You should create constant in your program called CLS that has the value 13 (it's predefined in PBASIC); use TX_BYTE to send it.

Jon,

Thanks for the reply, BTW the code for CLS is 0. Carrage Return is 13.

TX_STR "!NBOW01:"
TX_DEC dat
TX_BYTE CLS

This works great!

Thanks again

Sorry my mistake -- saw CLS, thought CR.
