G'day Georges,
The following might explain the situation.
OPEN "COM1:115200" as #1
When the serial port is opened, the receive buffer is cleared.
IF LOC(#1) > 10 THEN data$ = INPUT$(256, #1)
Now we check the buffer, which is empty, so data$ is also empty.
So we need to wait for the data to arrive:
OPEN "COM1:115200" as #1
Do while LOC(#1)<10
' loop here until 10 chars in input buffer
Loop
data$ = INPUT$(255, #1)
print data$
You can also use interrupts but hopefully this will help.
Regards,
Lyle.
