I disable Interactive C and then Poke() and Peek() as has been described on this list. I send short character strings from my PC to the HandyBoard under Windows 95. If I send strings longer than 2 characters, it seems that some of the characters get lost. This behavior seems to be affected by repositioning or slightly modifying the code, suggesting perhaps a timing issue. Why might this be? Is there any way to check for an error situation? Thanks for any help, Aaron From cmcmanis@freegate.com Thu Jul 16 03:13:49 1998 Received: from aleve.media.mit.edu by hub.media.mit.edu; (5.65v3.2/1.1/06Jun95-8.2MPM) id AA23518; Thu, 16 Jul 1998 03:13:49 -0400 Received: from hq.freegate.com ([208.226.86.1]) by aleve.media.mit.edu (8.8.7/ML970927) with SMTP id CAA18991 for ; Thu, 16 Jul 1998 02:17:47 -0400 (EDT) Received: (qmail+freegate 6968 invoked by alias); 16 Jul 1998 06:17:38 -0000 Received: from dialip-04.hq.freegate.com (HELO freegate.com) (208.226.86.222) by hq.freegate.com with SMTP; 16 Jul 1998 06:17:38 -0000 Message-Id: <35AD9BDA.3A9EC8F7@freegate.com> Date: Wed, 15 Jul 1998 23:21:14 -0700 From: Chuck McManis Reply-To: cmcmanis@freegate.com Organization: Freegate Corporation X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.04 [en] (Win95; I) Mime-Version: 1.0 To: David Rye Cc: handyboard@media.mit.edu Subject: Re: Handyboard/RWP without p-code References: <3.0.32.19980716151646.00809d20@nemo.mech.eng.usyd.edu.au> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Get a copy of icc11 v5.0 or later (from www.imagecraft.com) and use the handyboard library from their site. --Chuck From aarone@sirius.com Wed Sep 30 12:35:05 1998 Received: from aleve.media.mit.edu by hub.media.mit.edu; (5.65v4.0/1.1/06Jun95-8.2MPM) id AA09172; Wed, 30 Sep 1998 12:35:05 -0400 Received: from mail3.sirius.com (mail3.sirius.com [205.134.253.133]) by aleve.media.mit.edu (8.8.7/ML970927) with ESMTP id KAA02849 for ; Wed, 30 Sep 1998 10:46:53 -0400 (EDT) Received: from aarone (ppp-asfm03--129.sirius.net [205.134.240.129]) by mail3.sirius.com (8.8.7/Sirius-8.8.7-97.08.12) with SMTP id HAA08635; Wed, 30 Sep 1998 07:46:49 -0700 (PDT) Message-Id: <008901bdec9a$76f469d0$63f186cd@aarone.sirius.com> From: "Aaron Edsinger" To: "Keith - Lui" Cc: "handy" Subject: Re: output to file Date: Wed, 30 Sep 1998 10:47:58 -0700 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-Msmail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 4.72.2106.4 X-Mimeole: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V4.72.2106.4 Yes, Write a dos/windows client that reads the serial line and then writes it to file using the C stdio library. -----Original Message----- From: Keith - Lui To: handyboard@media.mit.edu Date: Wednesday, September 30, 1998 6:55 AM Subject: output to file >Dear all, > >I would like to output some HB data to a file, is that possible? > >Keith > From aarone@sirius.com Wed Aug 12 13:42:19 1998 Received: from aleve.media.mit.edu by hub.media.mit.edu; (5.65v3.2/1.1/06Jun95-8.2MPM) id AA13439; Wed, 12 Aug 1998 13:42:19 -0400 Received: from mail3.sirius.com (mail3.sirius.com [205.134.253.133]) by aleve.media.mit.edu (8.8.7/ML970927) with ESMTP id MAA10630 for ; Wed, 12 Aug 1998 12:48:27 -0400 (EDT) Received: from aarone (ppp-asfm05--041.sirius.net [205.134.241.41]) by mail3.sirius.com (8.8.7/Sirius-8.8.7-97.08.12) with SMTP id JAA20821; Wed, 12 Aug 1998 09:48:24 -0700 (PDT) Message-Id: <004401bdc62a$e8ecc8c0$70f086cd@aarone.sirius.com> From: "Aaron Edsinger" To: "Mark Wallace" Cc: "handy" Subject: Re: serial library for C++ Date: Wed, 12 Aug 1998 12:53:41 -0700 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-Msmail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 4.72.2106.4 X-Mimeole: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V4.72.2106.4 Check out this site.
