Forum Index : Microcontroller and PC projects : Sending to serial port without CR LF?

Hi all I'm currently trying to write a terminal program for my Maximite so that I can operate my screenless and keyboardless miniMaximite with its COM2 port in console mode, over a radio link, using the Maximite's serial port (which has a screen and keyboard plugged in.) Currently I have it so that it uses INKEY$ to store one byte from the keyboard in char$, then it uses PRINT #1, char$ to send it over COM2. The issue I am currently having is that the PRINT #nbr command sends the character to the serial port, but it's also sending CR/LF to the serial port as well, so I can't actually type a command! Is there any command I can use to send a character directly to the serial port without this occurring? Cheers! Capacitance is futile - roll on 2012! |

Use a semicolon at the end of the print statement. More info in the manual. Greg |

PRINT #1, char$; I have not tested this on a serial port, but I understand the semicolon suppresses the CR/LF on screen. Edit: And Greg beat me... Micromites and Maximites! - Beginning Maximite |

Thanks for that, I can't believe I couldn't find this in the manual! It does indeed do the trick  Capacitance is futile - roll on 2012! |
