Using the link port in Axe?
« on: June 23, 2014, 06:10:04 pm »
Could someone please tell me why this doesn't work (or a better way to do it)? I'm trying to send a byte across the link port.

Code for calculator 1:
Code: [Select]
.RUN1
ClrHome
Repeat getKey(15)
Disp "SENDING...",[i]
!If Send(9999,9999)
Disp "ERROR",
End
End
Code for calculator 2:
Code: [Select]
.RUN2
ClrHome
While 1
Disp "WAITING...",[i]
While Get=~1
ReturnIf getKey(15)
End
Disp "RECEIVED! ",Get>Dec,[i]
End

I think that the last Get is wrong, it isn't a variable, so if it recieves something, it tries to recieve something else and display that, so you should store the first Get into a variable, and display that variable instead.

That. Also, send() can only send bytes. ;)

Thanks, I deleted it (just to make it simpler). It still throws an error though :(

What should I send then? Because replacing the first "9999" with a "1" doesn't work either :/

Code: [Select]
.RUN2
ClrHome
While 1
Disp "WAITING...",[i]
While Get->{L1}=-1
ReturnIf getKey(15)
End
Disp "RECEIVED! ",{L1}>Dec,[i]
End

Try this, should work :)

Cause you need to store what the TI get with the Get( command
I test this code with 2 calculators, but I use a variable (like G) instead a list (because there is a byte send not a value)

I tried that, it still doesn't work. Here's the current code.

Calc 1:
Code: [Select]
.RUN1
ClrHome
Disp "SENDING...",[i]
While 1
Repeat (getKey) and (getKey(9))
If getKey(15)
Return^^r
End
End
Disp Send(1,60000)>Dec,[i]
End
Calc two:
Code: [Select]
.RUN2
ClrHome
While 1
Disp "WAITING...",[i]
While Get->G=~1
ReturnIf getKey(15)
End
Disp "RECEIVED! ",G>Dec,[i])
End
Calc one displays "SENDING..." and calc two displays "WAITING...". When enter is pressed, calc one displays "0" (showing that sending failed) and calc 2 does nothing  :banghead:


edit: just to be clear, both calcs can send and receive data from the os's link menu, so I know the hardwear is working.

Are you using USB or the I/O cable?

USB ≠ link port. The link port is the jack one. AFAIK, nothing can be done with the USB port in Axe.

Seriously?? Ugh, I don't own the other cable...
Are you sure though? Because I can still send stuff through the usb.

The system that lets you use the USB port hasn't been written in Axe, I guarantee it.

Well, not written in axe != impossible in axe. It is possible in assembly, and you can use assembly in axe. The USB port is very complicated and not fully documented (because it's not fully known) though, which makes it quite hard to get it to work. I'd reccomend you to ask thepenguin (if he still visits this forum) for more information if you're interested.

BrandonW is the walking documentation for the USB controller. :P He does know a lot about it, as well as all the calc hardware.

BrandonW is amazing. I wonder if you could use usb8x with axe to send stuff over usb cable?
