serial locks bx24
Apr 28th, 2005, 3:48am  
i'm successfully getting processing and a BX24 talking to each other.  the updated Serial docs are excellent...however, there's a problem.  i can only run my sketch once.  after stopping and restarting a sketch, the BX locks up and needs to be reset manually or stopped and restarted in the BasicX environment.

i thought it might require a Serial.stop call, or maybe a Serial.clear() call, but neither makes a difference -- the BX locks up regardless.  any ideas?

First thing I would do is test to see if it's the BX24 or Processing:

-- connect to the BX24 using Hyperterminal.  Send whatever Processing is sending, and see if the BX24 locks up still.  Try the same with any other serial-capable program or programming environment that you can: Max/MSP, Director, Processing 0068, etc.

-- Connect Processing serially to another computer that's sending the same thing as the BX24.  See if Processing locks up.

Personally, I suspect the BX24. I tested with a PIC and both the PIC and Processing worked like a charm.
