Author Topic: MacroPump and RS232 with CreateObject get Coinitialization ERROR  (Read 6549 times)

0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.

I'm a new user.

I've tested a macro that use the Serial Port to comunicate with my remote panel build up around a PIC18F4620 by Microchip.
To do this I've used :
   Set objCOM = CreateObject ("MSCOMMLib.MSComm", "MSCommEvent_")

Everything works fine until I save it as MacroPump.m1s. At this point I get always an error "Coninitialization".

After same test I thing I've found out these:

1.If in MacroPump.m1s there is any kind of CreateObject this error  comes out alwasy.
2.If I put the source in a macro like M101.m1s and then I call it by MacroPump.m1s then everythings looks to work well but I cannot run any other macro.
3.If I use the calls to the API to comunicate with the serial port and I put everything into the macropump.m1s that it looks to work fine but to use the API is little more complex then createobject.
4.If I use SendFifo/GetFifoEntry the RS232 has to much delaysometimes and something like Jog/buttons doesn't work fine.

Someone can help me about this COINITIALIZATION ERROR in MacroPump?
Sorry for my poor english.

This is my Source Code MACROPUMP.M1S:

I am sorry to say that I don't think you can do that in the Macro pump :( it is code that gets run once an update not all the time... The stuff that you are looking to do would be best done in C++

Thanks

Hi.
With the last update 2.3 there is not anymore the problem about the error with CreateObject in the MacroPump.
I've done some test and it looks to work well also at 115200 baud.
As soon as possible we will test this remote panel on a milling machine and we will find out what kind of problem we will get.

Bye
