Color Key Function: Variable:

getChar

short getChar(const TUARTs nPort)

(short) Function will retrieve the next character from the buffer that was sent to port 'nPort'. Parameter Explanation Data Type nPort A sensor port or name TUARTs getChar(uartOne); // retrieve the next char from UART Port 'uartOne'

sendChar

void sendChar(const TUARTs nPort, short nChar)

(void) Function will send the next character to port 'nPort'. Parameter Explanation Data Type nPort A sensor port or name TUARTs nChar A char to send to 'nPort'. (Can be a short or a char) short sendChar(uartOne, 'B'); // send the next char from UART Port 'uartOne'

setBaudRate

void setBaudRate(const TUARTs nPort, TBaudRate nBaudRate)

(void) Function will set the Baud Rate for port 'nPort'. Acceptable Baud Rates: 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200, 230400. Parameter Explanation Data Type nPort A sensor port or name TUARTs nBaudRate The baud rate to use TBaudRate setBaudRate(uartOne, baudRate9600); // retrieve the next char from UART Port 'uartOne'
