The serial data is read no problem, and actually I figured out most of my
other problems, I also have a bit and byte swapping function that I'm going
to post that works pretty darn good.
Thanks,
Jason
Sample Swap_byte_function
/**************************************************************************
* Byte swap_byte(Byte): Jason Simpkins Apexx Software LLC. *
* Vars: Byte old_byte Byte to be converted *
* Byte new_byte Converted Byte *
**************************************************************************/
Byte swap_byte(Byte old_byte){
Byte new_byte;
Byte working_byte[8];
int i;
new_byte=0x00; // zero out new_byte
for(i=0;i<8;i++)
working_byte[i]=0x00; // zero out working bytes
working_byte[0]=(old_byte << 7); // bit 1
working_byte[1]=(old_byte >> 1); // bit 2
working_byte[1]=(working_byte[1] << 7);
working_byte[1]=(working_byte[1] >> 1);
working_byte[2]=(old_byte >> 2); // bit 3
working_byte[2]=(working_byte[2] << 7);
working_byte[2]=(working_byte[2] >> 2);
working_byte[3]=(old_byte >> 3); // bit 4
working_byte[3]=(working_byte[3] << 7);
working_byte[3]=(working_byte[3] >> 3);
working_byte[4]=(old_byte >> 4); // bit 5
working_byte[4]=(working_byte[4] << 7);
working_byte[4]=(working_byte[4] >> 4);
working_byte[5]=(old_byte >> 5); // bit 6
working_byte[5]=(working_byte[5] << 7);
working_byte[5]=(working_byte[5] >> 5);
working_byte[6]=(old_byte >> 6); // bit 7
working_byte[6]=(working_byte[6] << 7);
working_byte[6]=(working_byte[6] >> 6);
working_byte[7]=(old_byte >> 7); // bit 8
for(i=0;i<8;i++){
new_byte=(new_byte | working_byte[i]);
} // end for loop
return(new_byte);
} // end function
