Arduino Code Issues

[Rodney Mothersbaugh]

Robert,

I am so sorry, i just got back from doing errands and realized that was the noobish thing i could have posted. Sorry and thanks.Here is the snippet that I changed.

void setup() {
// initialize Serial1 for ASCOM
Serial1.begin(9600);

analogWrite( Buzzer, 1023 );
// turn ON both LEDS as power on cycle indicator
analogWrite( bledIN, 1023 );
analogWrite( gledOUT, 1023 );

while(!Serial1); //ADDED BY RM

---

void loop() {
// process the command string when a hash arrives:

CheckSerialPort(); //ADDED BY RM

---

// Serial1Event occurs whenever new data comes in the Serial1 RX.
//void Serial1Event() {
// : starts the command, # ends the command, do not store these in the command buffer
// read the command until the terminating # character
//while (Serial1.available() && !eoc) {
//inChar = Serial1.read();
//if (inChar != '#' && inChar != ':') {
//line[idx++] = inChar;
//if (idx >= MAXCOMMAND) {
// idx = MAXCOMMAND - 1;
// }
// }
//else {
//if (inChar == '#') {
//analogWrite( gledOUT, 0 );
//eoc = 1;
//idx = 0;
// }
// }
// }
//}
void CheckSerialPort() {
while (Serial1.available() && !eoc) {
inChar = Serial1.read();
if (inChar != '#' && inChar != ':') {
line[idx++] = inChar;
if (idx >= MAXCOMMAND) {
idx = MAXCOMMAND - 1;
}
}
else {
if (inChar == '#') {
//analogWrite( gledOUT, 0 );
eoc = 1;
idx = 0;
}
}
}
}

Concerning the Micro

"I am using a Arduino micro instead of a nano and it seems that with the micro the Serialevent function is not working. This means Ascom can't get a connection to the arduino"

After some searching I found out that putting the function:

void serialEventRun(void) {
if (Serial.available()) serialEvent();
}

just before void setup() enables the serial communication.

Maybe fixed in next release of IDE.
