Thanks for all your help, Tom. This is looking promising. At least
I'm getting more meaningful data from the mite.

How does 65 relate to A? If string works, shouldn't numbers?

Since my variable PulseTrain is already an array from using
InputCapture, please tell me I don't have to convert it to string or
something else to send?

This is the results from the mite. The mite is simply driving pin 6
low on the BX to tell it when to send. The BX is in a Do Loop.

A character is just (usually) an 8-bit number that's interpreted by
convention as an alphanumeric, like hex 41 is "A";
http://www.asciitable.com . The value 65 is decimal for hex 41.

You can send anything you like in a byte or combination of bytes; an
integer (16 bits internally) becomes two bytes while a long or
single-float (32-bits) needs four bytes. You needn't convert anything;
just send it to the receiver and interpret it there; you might, for
example, need to reverse the order of bytes (Big Endian, Little Endian:
http://www.cs.umass.edu/~verts/cs32/endian.html ).

You 're on your way.

SUCCESS!!!
Don't know what I was doing earlier, but it works now. Thought I
would post the code and results.

Thanks a million for your help, Tom.

BX-24 code:

Option Explicit

dim InBuf_1(1 To 9) as BYTE
dim OCom1(1 To 33) as BYTE

Dim Letters(0 to 23) as byte

sub Main()
dim b as byte
CALL OpenQueue(InBuf_1, 9) 'Zero-length buffer, 9 bytes overhead
CALL OpenQueue(OCOM1, 33) '24-bytes + 9 bytes

CALL OpenCom(1, 115200, InBuf_1, OCOM1)
Call PutPin(6, 3)

'place dummy data in Letters
for b = 0 to 23
Letters(b) = 200 + b
next

Do
If GetPin(6)=0 then 'ARMmite signal when ready to receive
Call PutQueue(OCom1, Letters, 24) 'send to COM1
End If
Loop
END sub
'----

The ARMmite code:

Dim NumberTest(25)

Dir(7) = 1 'Output

BRate = 115200

DO
Timer=0
Out(7)=0 'Send signal to BX to send data
SERIN 8, BRate,0,[NumberTest\24]
Out(7)=1
PrintTime=Timer
For i = 0 to 23
Print "NumberTest";i;" "; NumberTest
(i); " ";"Baud ";BRate;" ";"usec ";PrintTime
Next
Loop
'-----
