Re: Study of the BlackBox Component Builder

You might think it is a little quiet around this post and you are right. At the moment by times I work on the Arduino part. There is not much progress because there is also work to do for a living. It took a while to realize I was running into the wrong direction. I first tried to mimic the RS232 co...

Thank you Chris.

PS. Read your article about Astrobe in the Elektor Embedded Guide of 2010.

[Edit: The book of Hanspeter Mössenböck is good!]

Re: Study of the BlackBox Component Builder

Thank you for the information. V24 I tried to extend my code but in the end I had to use the same structure with a separate " PROCEDURE (a: Action) Do; " that runs the receiver code. I thought I could accomplish that within 1 procedure. So actually the code looks a lot at your code. The re...

I had only to change the baud rate and it ran flawlessly. Now I'm extending my code with this Services.DoLater concept to understand it.

Re: Study of the BlackBox Component Builder

Thanks luowy,

I'm a bit spoiled with Visual Basic for Application :D. A lot is done "automatically" under the hood when it comes to string conversion or using functions like VAL() or Cstr().

Your help is appreciated.

Re: Stack Commit Size, Stack Reserve Size

Ivan, Beautiful, nice examples. And you are right: To become more popular, there should be more promotion, better documentation, should be manuals video in English. Also there should be more platforms and operational systems supported. We are working on BlackBox Cross-Platform and also Hershel 64x b...

Re: Study of the BlackBox Component Builder

Hello luowy, Thanks for all the information. Great source of WinAPI information too from Ivan Denisov. The test for NIL works like a charm and the next code in the TestLink.odc for conversion from string to byte helped me also. I was hitting a wall there when I tried to use the stringreader, got err...

Re: Study of the BlackBox Component Builder

From the Ad 2 above, the serial comm part is done. It was a nice journey, albeit that I had an archaïc feeling. I did a kind of copycat from https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/connecting-arduino-to-processing/all and instead of using Processing I used BlackBox. The Arduino code looks like this: //...

Re: Stack Commit Size, Stack Reserve Size

Chris, Thanks for those links. I saw already information at http://www.pas.rochester.edu/~skulski/Presentations/BB_Class.pdf . Maybe I should specify clearer what I meant. I make a difference between where BlackBox (BB) is used for in real live projects mostly in an academical setting and sold in co...
