RE: [misterhouse-users] Sending .bin files to serial port

[Clive F. <cfr...@3v...>]

 

I have code similar to what is shown here;
 
$SendFile = "d:/misterhouse/mh/data/test.bin";
$binfile = file_read $SendFile;
set $Serial1 $binfile;
 
if the file test.bin contains text i.e. "this is a test" the data streams
out of the serial port correctly, however if the file contains raw binary
information only a few bytes are sent and the data terminates.
 
Has anyone else come across this, I am doing something wrong ?


Could it be that it stops when it sees something in the binary data that
looks like an EOF?
