Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Interesting result

open "com2:4800" as #1
do
print loc(#1) ' print rx buffer size
loop

Gets up to "127" and maxes out

//

open "com2:4800,2048" as #1
do
print loc(#1) ' print rx buffer size
loop

Gets up to "255" and maxes out

MMBasic Version 4.0B

I have something else intersting.

I am reading from a GPS.

I think the PIC is too fast ( if that is feasable )

If I read two bytes really quickly, sometimes they come out null.

Or one is populated and the second is not.

If I slow down the read with a pause 10, I can get 100% read rate from the com port.

I think I need to check if there are some characters to read first .

LOC(#1)

I've duplicated these results on 4.2.

I did a dumb thing

Threw my GPS from 19200 to 38400 baud

And of course the PIC on this port does not do 38400

Out with the serial port PC

255 may be related to the max string size

(though it probably should not be)
