Writing Multiple Bytes via USART

[pinout]

Hi

In order to write multiple bytes via USART, we have to create a loop and new variables just for that process:

Code: Select all

char i; 
char temp;  
char *ptr;
 
void main() { 
Usart_Init(9600); 

while(1){ 
            ptr = "Hello"; 
            temp = strlen(ptr); 
            for(i=1; i<=temp; i++){ 
            Usart_write(*ptr); 
            ptr++; } 
            
           delay_ms(1000); 
                                    } 
                                      }

Please write some library function that takes care of all that. E.g

Code: Select all

USART_Write_Text("Hello")

Thanks!

You want us to write what you have already written yourself. I do not see the difference between you writing this routine yourself in your code and using the same routine written by us and placed in the library.
Anyway, here is the code:

Code: Select all

void Usart_Write_Text(char * ptr) {

  while (*ptr)
    Usart_Write(*ptr++);

}

Hi

What I wrote was 7 lines of code just for sending text>= 2 characters. Having it all done for you in a library routine makes coding quicker and more legible.

Thanks for the library routine. I get "invalid expression" though. Has this routine just been introduced :. an update is required (I have 7.0.0.3 though)?

Hi

Thanks for the library routine. I get "invalid expression" though.

- How did you managed to get invalid expression message? I compile it without problems. Maybe you did not copy it right, maybe you missed to copy some of the brackets.

Has this routine just been introduced :. an update is required (I have 7.0.0.3 though)?

- The routine was written just yesterday for you. We'll see about adding it to the library. You have the source code now. Also, we did use similar routines within distributed examples.
