1.It was just an example [there are different escape codes used with this device].
2. I don't know for sure how, but if I'll connect the real display connected to the device - this is the rows order.
first it outputs the second row, then, the first one.

you're right..the problem is that there are alot of escape codes...
and I hoped that someone once built an Arduino library/code for that matter..

I want to get a clean text divided to 2 rows.
For example, instead of:

Code:

000089568.[K.[H.[H07 BAG DDAST  .[K

I would like to get:

Code:

<1>07 BAG DDAST  </1><2>000089568</2>

RS-422 device connected to a SN75179BP connected to the serial pins of an Arduino Mega.

In the serial I get text mixed with ANSI escape codes.

Hi,

I have a device that (as far as I understand) transmit data using the ECMA-48 protocol or ANSI Escape sequences.
That data usually get printed to a 2rows-16chars LCD device.
I want to be able to read that data using an Arduino, and send it to another software parsed as:

Code:

<1>FirstRowData</1><2>SecondRowData</2>

I found some projects online that do the opposite..let you send ANSI escape sequences parsed data to a device. I need the other way around..

Any ideas?

While trying to use the Time library from the playground [TimeRTC example] I get the following errors:

Code:

1. Assuming I'll manage to solder a battery to the apropriate pins, is there anything else I should do? [force the SAM3X to enter sleep mode or such] or is it enough to connect the battery?

2. Those RTC libraries I mentioned before doesn't work with an Arduino Due. anyone knows how to fix it?

We're talking on 2 different things.

I didn't know that the SAM3X has an RTC built in it.
I've tried to connect a DS1307 to the Arduino Due.
That is why I didn't understand how your library can help me with my project.

If there is a RTC built-in, how can I save the time there. is there a way to connect a battery to the SAM3X, like the one connected to a DS1307 circuit?


Thanks.

So how do I set the time on the DS1307?
I want to set it once, and read the time from it.

Hi Markus,

I'm using an external XTAL.

I uploaded the Due_Rtc_Simple_Sample once and all worked fine.
When I commented out:

 

Code:

//rtc_clock.set_time(10, 29, 9);
  //rtc_clock.set_date(22, 10, 2012);

The date was 1.1.2007


Am I missing something?

Hi,

I've tried using RTClib and DS1307RTC libraries but they aren't compatible with the Arduio Due.
I've found this library, but it doesn't use an external RTC.


Any help?

Hi!

I'm currently using SN75179BP to convert RS-422 communication to UART, allowing communication from my Arduino to an RS-422 device.

I need to isolate that device from my arduino+driver/receiver circuit.
Does anyone know a good optocoupler solution for RS-422 lines?
any already-isolated driver/receiver pair?


Thank you,
Liad.

Hello,

1. Is there any equivalent to the SoftwareSerial inverse_logic function in the hardware serial? [Eg. SoftwareSerial mySerial(2,3,true);]
2. As I see it, in order to change an hardware-serial from 8-N-1 to 8-O-1, all I've got to do is adding:

Code:

UCSR1C= UCSR1C | B00110000;

after:

Code:

Serial1.begin(9600);

right? anything else I should add?

Thanks!
 

[Pylon, thanks a lot for that OSx workaround!]

Hey,

Problem solved!

I don't completely get it, but the minute I've changed the write function to non-inverse logic [With of course setting up the parity+stop bit correctly] - everything started working...

I'll keep investigate it to see exactly what's going on but it's nice to see it working.

Pylon, thanks a lot for that OSx workaround!

Hey,

Thank you for your quick response.
I compiled it with the new code but I still can't transmit normally.

The device is constantly sending data. [ASCII formated messegs] I can read it clearly.
Whey I send 1 character using the serial terminal. I stop getting normal data from the device and it doesn't do what it suppose to do if he got the correct data from me.

I took an oscilloscope to check the arduino's output and it outputs exactly what it should [I think]
For example, sending 0x01 - I get 1011111110 [inverse logic]

is it possible that there is a problem with the timing? bit size?

Thanks,
Liad.
