Thanks Don !! The following ended up working well..(for future ref) Do While GetPin(Interrupt_Pin) = 0 ... Loop **Call PutPin (Clock_Pin, bxOutputHigh)** Do...
Has anybody controlled the D200(www.tecel.com/d200) motor driver board from Tecel? I would like to get some tips on controlling it with the basicx chip. aj......
All of a sudden I can't write a program to my BX-24. It's been working just fine for a month now. I just added a switch and I Open COM1 on the BX - then send...
I added an earth ground and my problems like this cleared up. FWIW. It supposedly isn't needed, but I have to have one. Bob roos On Mon, 03 May 2004 02:07:57...
GetTime routine seems to not work properly. I cannot get it to return a Seconds value and I think that is why code after the call does not work correctly. In...
The seconds returned by gettime have a resolution of 1/512. That means that 1 second = 512 2 seconds = 1024 and so on. That value will not fit in a byte and...
Seconds are returned as a single. If you want just the integer seconds, you could dim tmpsec as an integer, then use FixI to get the rounded down integer and...
Bob, I did the CByte(Second) to convert the single to a byte. In the debug.print for ToTime I then convert the byte to a string to print it. I must be getting...
Paul, TwoDigit simply formats a byte passed to it into a 2 digit string. That is why I first convert the single "Second" to a byte. That did work earlier...

Normally, using the ";" suppresses the carriage return and line feed and it seems to do that in BasicX when using the debug.print statement. If the trailing...
This is strange. 2 identical calls to GetTime, one works fine the other results in some strange error with Seconds. From my Main routine: GetTime(Hours,...
... That sounds like stack overflow to me. The 280 only represents the statically allocated RAM. Each subroutine invocation consumes 9 bytes plus the space...
... Sounds like the dreaded "stack overflow" to me. The call to the do loop uses stack space, the sub adds to it, the debug.prints add to it and the GetTime...

Bob, Paul, Frank, Don I thank you all for your thoughts and ideas. All I have done is make the problem worse. I do not think a: Main 'test debug.print code...

Hi Group, I have, what I think is a very simple question, but would like some input/answers from yourselves. Is it possible to daily-chain 2 or more BX-24's...
At the risk of showing my ignorance - could I ask you to share some detail on how you make the earth ground connection? (I'm more a software guy than a...
Do you have an earth ground? I know it sounds strange, but my programs ran much better when I ran a wire from earth ground to the ground on my breadboard. Bob ...
No sweat. There are no dumb questions. I ran a wire from the 3rd hole on my powerstrip to the power supply ground rail on my breadboard. I took a piece of...
