Re: [M100] BackPack - read data from CLI

[Georg Käter]

Hi Jeff,

 

I´ve added the following to the listing below to "see" if BPD responds

 

..

42 INPUT#2,K
43 IF K<>"#" GOTO 42

44 PRINT K

..
 

After some seconds I see the #, but program then program stucks.

Any further idea about this behaviour?

 

Thanks for your support

Georg

You might be sending the SET command before the BPD has time to wake up and respond. It will return a ‘#’ when it wakes up and switches to CLI mode.

Hello together,

 

I tried to read "settings" from a BackPack+ with the following, but w/o success

 

10 REM read settings from BackPack/BackPack+
20 REM set variables
21 MAXFILES=2:DEFSTR A-K
22 CP="COM:98N1ENN"
30 REM open COM: for I/O
31 OPEN CP FOR OUTPUT AS 1
32 OPEN CP FOR INPUT AS 2
40 REM turn-on CLI mode
41 PRINT#1,STRING$(4,13)
50 REM send "set" command to BackPack/BackPack+
51 PRINT#1,"set";CHR$(13)
60 REM read data from BackPack (set returns 9? values)
61 INPUT#2,A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I
70 REM show "settings"
71 PRINT A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I
80 REM turn-off CLI mode
81 PRINT#1,"bye"
99 END

 

What is wrong in the above? Any idea?

 

btw this works:

10 REM read data from BackPack/BackPack+
20 REM set variables
21 MAXFILES=2:DEFSTR A-K
22 CP="COM:98N1ENN"
30 REM open COM: for I/O
31 OPEN CP FOR OUTPUT AS 1
32 OPEN CP FOR INPUT AS 2
40 REM read from BackPack/BackPack+ (Date=A, Time=B, Day=C)
41 PRINT#1,"FF";chr$(7);chr$(13)
42 INPUT#2,A,B,C
50 REM print values
51 PRINT A,B,C
99 END

 

Thanks for your help
