Viv,

Hi.

Just starting out on BBC BASIC. Can you please share the test program code for sending and receiving a couple of bytes of data.

Regards

Sending code something like:

Code:

      port% = OPENOUT("COM1:9600,n,8,1")
      BPUT #port%,dat1%
      BPUT #port%,dat2%
      CLOSE #port%

Receiving code something like:

Code:

      port% = OPENIN("COM2:9600,n,8,1")
      dat1% = BGET#port%
      dat2% = BGET#port%
      CLOSE #port%

This code waits for the data to arrive. If you need to be doing something else whilst waiting, you can monitor how many bytes have arrived using EXT#port% and only read them when they're ready.
