Hi List, my dad asked me if I could build an app. that stores the Programs of his CNC milling machine on his Windows PC. I promised him to try it.
The Machine is connected with the computer on com1 and seems to be sending plain text. So I walked through the Dictionary and set up the following: I set the serialControlString to: baud=300 parity=E data=7 stop=1 (Looking at the old DOS program he has, thats what the machine needs) I created a button: on mouseUp put empty into fld "fehler" open file "COM1:" for read put "opened"&cr into fld "log" read from file "COM1:" until end put "reading done"&cr after fld "log" put the result into fld "Fehler" put it into fld "Ausgabe" close file "COM1:" put "closed"&cr after fld "log" end mouseUp When I hit the button, it instantly reports EOF in fld "fehler". How do I tell Revolution to wait until the data is sent by the CNC milling machine? Can I set a timeout somehow to wait let�s say for about 2 minutes? Any help is greatly apreciated!
