AWOL:
No, I didn't try to compile it, I just threw it together after some research and wanted to see what initial responses it would conjure.
I just replaced/modified it (above) with a version that survived the compiler but hasn't yet been tested. I'm gonna do that now and see what happens.
HMMM.... I'm having 'com port' problems again, not sure what's happening with my ports, so the code (above) remains untested until I figure this out.
1-2-13. Upon testing, alphabet characters printed to the serial monitor instead of the indexed number values. I changed datatypes to 'unsigned int' and 'uint16_t', used '#define' for the first line, and tried quite a few combinations of changes with no results. There must be more to it than simply changing datatypes, I don't know. I could use some help with it if anyone has any ideas.
