Am I right to say that at this stage I can't use my usb key? I got rid of all the errors I was getting, I am now stuck on the one program johnny RX_String_Test.SXB. I get it to write in hyperterminal Please enter string (although it seems to get cut off "ter a string") when I type 3 letter and hit enter It either freezes up or returns nothing. Not even the "you entered: " part. My connection setting are as follows Com 1 N 9600. I get no writing when its set at T9600, so i changed it to n9600. I am connecting through serial cable no USB converter. I use the 22k resistors for protection and also use with and get the same issue. The external resinator I am using is 20 MHZ It appears that the maybe its looping without picking up the chars??? Serin tx n9600 ,char,1000,main????? would this be a better angle? Also can someone better explain to me the serial section. for example when I send data in hyperterminal I am sending the whole string at once to the sx chip or is it one char at a time. How does it come into the stamp as an ascii char or the actuall letter. thanks! ---------- End of Message ---------- You can view the post on-line at: http://forums.parallax.com/forums/default.aspx?f=7&p=1&m=372213#m373221 Need assistance?
