ReadSerialMem example (allocmem ??)

[plouf]

hi

how does this command works? is there any example ?
what is this "address" ?

thanx

[hackball]

address is the memory location of the buffer you have created to read the data from serial into.

[plouf]

buffer ?

wher is writen in blitbasic manual to dont bother you with questions

thanx

address is this?

address = allocmem(1024,1) ?

[plouf]

ok, works with

initbank 0,1024,0
ReadSerialMem 0,bank(0),256

its wrong i guess with
1kmem = AllocMem(1024,1)
ReadSerialMem 0,1kmem,256

[hackball]

it depends.
1kmem is a variable, and it should be .l (32bit) to hold the address and of course you should check if you really got the memory block you've asked for before reading anything to it.
