Hi!

i have a led display banner. I used windows software and i write some letter but i wanna edit it with arduino...

How can i send ascii data with TX pin to display banner?

I have to send 255, 254, 0, 100, 200, 95, 1, 1, 200, 43, 10, 1, 77, 117, 115, 108, 117, 32, 89, 252, 107, 115, 101, 107, 116, 101, 112, 101, 200, 253 code to banner.

I write:

#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
#define rxPin 0
#define txPin 1


SoftwareSerial swSerial =  SoftwareSerial(rxPin, txPin);

void setup()  {
  pinMode(rxPin, INPUT);
  pinMode(txPin, OUTPUT);

  swSerial.begin(19200);
  char sounds[] = {255, 254, 0, 100, 200, 95, 1, 1, 200, 43, 10, 1, 77, 117, 115, 108, 117, 32, 89, 252, 107, 115, 101, 107, 116, 101, 112, 101, 200, 253};
  Serial.print(sounds);
  delay(10);
}

void loop() {

   }
 


its accepted this code but never changed...

try this

Code:

  char sounds[] = {255, 254, 0, 100, 200, 95, 1, 1, 200, 43, 10, 1, 77, 117, 115, 108, 117, 32, 89, 252, 107, 115, 101, 107, 116, 101, 112, 101, 200, 253};
void setup()  {
  Serial.begin(19200);



for(int i = 0; i <=30;i++)
{
Serial.print(sounds[i],BYTE);
}
}

void loop() {

   }

ok will try tonight

You will need a value delimiter if all the values are going to be different lenghts.

Code:

Serial.print(sounds[i],BYTE);
Serial.print(',');

i programmed with vb6. its working but when isend this ascii code its not working.

VB6 code:

    ComPort = 1
    ComDelay = 20
    ComTimeOut = 3
    ComBaud = "19200"
    ComParity = "N"
    ComDataBits = "8"
    ComStopBits = "1"

    '-/- Open ComPort
    If Open_Port = False Then GoTo End_Send
    '-/- Check ID
    Sleep ComDelay: MSComm.Output = Chr$(255)               'Uyandırma İşareti
    Sleep ComDelay: MSComm.Output = Chr$(254)               'Hazır Komutu
    Sleep ComDelay: MSComm.Output = Chr$(0)                 'Device ID

i wanna send data with ethernet shiled. i can read data on net and send to rs232 but not working..

[Reply #5 on:]

Please answer me? i need to send ascii code with arduino to rs232 like this.

VB6 code:
    Sleep ComDelay: MSComm.Output = Chr$(255)
    Sleep ComDelay: MSComm.Output = Chr$(254)
    Sleep ComDelay: MSComm.Output = Chr$(0) 

[Reply #6 on:]

Are you saying that the data is not reaching the Arduino?

If so let us look at the Arduino code.

i use this code. i am sending data but not changing my led banner. i showed vb code when i send code with vb its working.



char sounds[] = {255, 254, 0, 100, 200, 95, 1, 1, 200, 43, 10, 1, 77, 117, 115, 108, 117, 32, 89, 252, 107, 115, 101, 107, 116, 101, 112, 101, 200, 253};
void setup()  {
  Serial.begin(19200);



for(int i = 0; i <=30;i++)
{
Serial.print(sounds,BYTE);
}
}

void loop() {

   }

[Reply #8 on:]

Your first problem is that you're not sending any of the array bytes, exactly what

Serial.print(sounds,BYTE);

sends I'm not sure (probably the lower half of sound's address or something).

You need to index into the array, and as there are only 30 elements in the array use < 30, not <=30

Code:

for(int i = 0; i < 30;i++)
   {
   Serial.print(sounds[i],BYTE);
   }

EDIT: I just noticed that weirdo told you this days ago.

i tested it. i want to tell you. i am not sending data to pc. i am sending to led banner. do i must to use max232 or other chip? when i send data with pc serial port its working but when i sen data with Arduino its doesnt work.

[Reply #10 on:]

do i must to use max232 or other chip? when i send data with pc serial port its working but when i sen data with Arduino its doesnt work.

That would imply that maybe you do need a MAX232, in which case you should NOT be plugging the display into an Arduino.

Don't you have any specs on the display or a scope to look at the signals.

i didnt see any character in led banner.

[Reply #12 on:]

Sorry musluyuksektepe but you can't just keep saying it doesn't work. We need technical details of the display.
