That worked it said Hello on the LCD!!!!

OK if you can write to it with Hyperterm them all we should have to do is find out the Comport settings that HT used.

Then try setting up the MCAH port the same.   Then we can start with something simple like

SendSerial "Hello" and see what happens.

OK see I told ya just ONE small itsiy tiny step away. Now we need to figure out the matrix

Try sendserial "abcdefghijklmnop"      that would be 16 charectors or 1 full line.

OK, that worked as well but I found out it only worked when I run the VB script manually in the editor. If I save it as macropump.m1s and start Mach it does not show up. Ans yes I do have run macro pump checked in Comfig. Is there something in ports and pins that I missed?

HUM, no if it runs in vb script it should run as a macropump. The macropump is just a vb script ran 10 times per second all the time.

OK try this  sendserial" ?x0,?y1" & "hello"                it should put hello on the second line down from the top

It worked manually OK it put it second line down one space over from the left.

OK one last thing for today,  

Sendserial " abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"  Lets see if it will line wrap.  IF it does OK then send the original SCript that had the single string to it from the editor. If that works let me know.

Sorry I did not get this untill this morning, when I get home tonight I will try it. Also is this the other one you wanted me to try?

XV = "X: " & Format (Getdro(0) , "+000.0000;-000.0000") & "    "
YV = "Y: " & Format (Getdro(1) , "+000.0000;-000.0000") & "    "
ZV = "Z: " & Format (Getdro(2) , "+000.0000;-000.0000") & "    "
AV = "A: " & Format (Getdro(3) , "+000.0000;-000.0000") & "    "
MS = "?Y0,?X0"
SendSerial "" &MS &XV &YV &ZV &AV

HIYA FRED,   YEP that is the one BUT less make a slight mod and send this. I removed the comma between the ?x and ?y

XV = "X: " & Format (Getdro(0) , "+000.0000;-000.0000") & "    "
YV = "Y: " & Format (Getdro(1) , "+000.0000;-000.0000") & "    "
ZV = "Z: " & Format (Getdro(2) , "+000.0000;-000.0000") & "    "
AV = "A: " & Format (Getdro(3) , "+000.0000;-000.0000") & "    "
MS = "?Y0?X0"
SendSerial "" &MS &XV &YV &ZV &AV

OK, we do have line wrap. I tried the scrip and it is close here is what we have now.

I also figured out why the macro was not running, it was in the wrong folder. It now runs when I start Mach but everything scrolls across the LCD?
