[Hai-users] Send Flag Count to Serial Port? (OmniPro II)

[Tony Golden]

To reduce the number of messages required, you can break it up into parts.
Instead of having 30 different values, you can have one message for the header,
ten messages for 0 through 9, and one message for the carriage return or other
terminator.  Then, in PC Access the different message parts can be sent
sequentially.

I'd be interested in this as well.  Right now I have a limited number of values
that need to be sent so I've set them up as individual messages.  However, I can
see my needs expanding in the future and this would be a good way to do it.

Is there any way to create a message / text that can be sent out the serial port
with a flag count value in it?


context:
I have a utility running on a PC (written in Python by me) that receives serial
port strings and then depending on the string received, emails a text message to
me or my wife with a status from the house.  Right now there these messages are
fixed and have no variable. But I would like to be able to send a counter flag
value out the serial port either as part of an existing message or even as a
unique value only.


Thanks

-Andrew
