CHAPTER 6
Prototype
function Soft_UART_Read(var error: byte): byte;
Returns Byte received via UART.
Description
The function receives a byte via software UART.
This is a blocking function call (waits for start bit). Programmer can unblock it by
calling Soft_UART_Break routine.
Parameters :
-
error: Error flag. Error code is returned through this variable.
0 - no error
1 - stop bit error
255 - user abort, Soft_UART_Break called
Requires
Software UART must be initialized before using this function. See the
Soft_UART_Init routine.
Example
var data : byte;
error : byte;
...
// wait until data is received
repeat
data := Soft_UART_Read(error);
until (error=0);
// Now we can work with data:
if ( data ) then
begin
...
end
