I guess it is better to start at the beginning. I have been using SerialNG (free) for many years sending and receiving data to CNC machines.
Now I'm doing something different and things just don't work the same. I'm sending 3 bytes of data from a micro. If I send data every 500 ms, I get a 3 byte string which I decode. SerialPortNG.NextClusterSize is triggered whenever data is received. If data is received every 500 ms I get valid data. If I speed up the micro to every 100 ms, it all changes. I start to get 2 or 3 blocks of data coming though at one time. Bing - Light just went on. My array for receiving the data is only 4 long. The data is now is a lot longer. Access Violation _"array exceeded" would have been helpful. for i:=1 to length(sRaw) do try iData[i]:= byte(sRaw[i]) Never the less - Is this a Delphi, Windows or serial comms issue. Why at 500 ms do I get 3 bytes and 100ms get 4+ bytes ? Is the delay between the USART receiving data, setting a flag, signalling Delphi to execute a read longer than 100ms ? Anyone with any help please reply or call 03 3237449 Cheers Wallace
