Sorry that I am such a "basic newbie"... I have dabbled a bit in C and
assembler and Delphi on PC, But now I am in Mac land (sick of viruses).
Taken from the TI documentation (Series 2000 Reader system).
All messages constructed according to the following format:
Byte Contents
0 Start-Mark (SOH,01hex)
1 Destination Address
2 Source Address
3 Message-Code
4 Data-Length
5 Data-Field(1)
N+4 Data-Field(N)
N+5 CRC-Field(1) (MS Byte)
N+6 CRC-Field(2)
N+7 End-Mark(EOT, 04hex)
I am just wanting to bang out a couple of packets to get the responses and
verify my ideas.
So that I can get down to the serious part.
Just that the example serial programs supplied with RB show quoted strings
going out i.e. Serial1.Write "Hello Blagh" whereas I need to do the
equivalent to Serial1.Write(0x01) (Sorry for the C syntax).
I tried the following:
Sub Action
Serial1.SerialPort.OutputDriverName.Encoding.variant 0x00
Serial1.Write 0x01
Serial1.WriteInt8 0x01
All cause an error.
Thanks in advance.
