More info on Serial Port reading /writing - firmware 2.8.4?

Post by dvsu12 »

Hi all,

I am trying to adapt an arduino sketch for reading ecu serial data into Lua for logging/display in the RCP 2.0.

I'd like to start with something simple - how would I read ecu part number info at 0xD0?

Is it as simple as

function ontick()

initSer(4, 9600, 8, 0, 1)
println(readSer(4, 0xD0, 50))

end()

Help!

Hi,

The Lua serial API has been updated here: http://autosportlabs.net/RaceCapturePro ... unications

It has full support for reading newline terminated strings as well as character based data.

Hope this helps; let us know if we can help further.
