The issue I am having is not related to the code itself. The issue I am having is compatibility between the format of the strings the Arduino is outputting and the format the stepper motor control box needs to function. I have posted my question in a couple other relevant AP forums, but I just wanted to see if anyone on the programming forum has any ideas. I will supply the string output that I can view either on my programming computer (connected via USB and with serial monitor) or on the PC (connected via the TTL to RS232 converter). The string output is as follows:
@0.
@0T0
@0B400
@0M600
@0-
@0N0
@0CH100
@0G
So essentially, I need someone with experience on an Arduino as well as stepper motor control boxes. The specific box I am using is DP75601 by Anaheim Automation. As far as I can tell, the box should be accepting the string output by the Arduino via the Serial.println() function. However, I am getting no sign of communication between the Arduino and control box. I think there must be a discrepancy in format compatibility, but I also think that both hardwares operate with ASCII.
