Sending Single Byte rs232

[esschenk]

Hello,

I want to send a single Byte to an rs232 device
For example i want to send 001.
Hyperterminal does NOT work
Is there a util for windows that i can use

Thanks Ed

There are several tools you can use.. Putty and the commercial one's like SecureCRT.
Your issue sounds like a flow control/baudrate issue.. Did you play with those settings?

Hello,


I have tried several things
But I can get it to work
I have a device that only reacts on a single byte from a rs232 port
So if I want to sent 001 or 230 something like that in a single byte
If I type 2 3 0 with hyper he sent 2 3 0 as separate byte’s

Ill try putty

Thanks

try the herculus setup utility, you can use the serial porttab it can send hex so a byte is not 188 but 7F

I think there is something else wrong.. 230 fits one byte and will be translated to one byte on the wire level.
All hyperterminal does is give you a human representation of things.

To clarify:
230 fits in one byte (8 bits).. its binary representation on the bit level is: 11100110.
Hyperterminal won't send it as 2 (00000010), 3 (00000011) and 0 (00000000)

Ed you are quite mysterious about this device.. What cool thing are you hiding?

Hello Maarten,

It’s not a secret device but it’s only a mp3 player with rs232 interface

what I want to use
As a doorbell and message device for some scripts
Wasmachine etc.
I want to make this device wireless so I can place it anywhere in the house
