hi everyone,
i am looking for a way to export values in the hc11 memory to the PC.
i've done some searching and read about some way to export it using
BASIC programming.

the problem is i have no idea what and how to use BASIC programming
and the code given. so i was hoping if anyone can help me with it or
maybe suggest another method(hopefully using the hc11 assembly
language).thanks.

here's the thing i've read....(its from this site)

BASIC Display Code

Here is a very simple BASIC program to run on the PC which was used to
display the 3-washer image above using ASCII characters sent directly
to it from the HC11. This is about as simple of a display program as
one can write. I've kept some lines of code which I experimented with
as comments (REM stands for remark). Notice that I expect exactly 110
characters to be sent from the HC11. Also, the HC11 sends end-of-line
characters to align the rows within the image.

This BASIC program uses channel COM1 for communication with the HC11.
It also writes the received image to a file called "qcam.txt".

CLOSE #1
CLOSE #2
CLOSE

OPEN "COM1:9600,N,8,1,cd0,cs0,ds0,op0,rs" FOR INPUT AS #1
REM open options, CD......

OPEN "qcam.txt" FOR OUTPUT AS #2
I = 0
REM WHILE (I < 24 * 78 * 3)
WHILE (I < 110)
S$ = "tpd"
INPUT #1, S$
WRITE #2, S$
REM j = 65
REM j = INP(&H3FC)
REM WRITE #2, CHR$(j)

I = I + 1
WEND
CLOSE #1
CLOSE #2

Try a google search for "PC BASIC Programming". the code you have
selected requires the corresponding assembler logic in the HC11 to send
the expected data. The image is whatever is in front of the camera, the
three washers is an example.

Good luck,

Jim

You are asking three rather unrelated questions.

(1) How do I program and use the serial port on the PC using
Linux, or something>.

(2) How do I program and use a serial port on the 'HC11?

(3) How do I design a communications protocol to effect data
transfer with probability that
the messages arrive intact within .

Is this really the only difficulty you are having?

Questions (1) and (3) are really not on-topic here, though there
are those who can probably help you. I've done (1) using MSDOS.
I have a less-than-fond relationship with all versions of Windows,
though some of the code I've written for MSDOS will run in
a DOS emulation window. Doing "real time" under all versions
of Windows I've encountered is something of a challenge.

What language do you want to use on the PC? Serial port programming
on the PC is also challenging, as the BIOS support is rudimentary,
and a lengthy discussion of it in PC assembler would really be
off topic.

What specifically do you want? Instructions on how to modify
this BASIC program to do something different? Or what? The program
is pretty simple. What do you want it to do other than what it
does?

i believe what i am looking for is how to use the code (step to use
it) so that it will do what it is supposed to do...not modify it.(i
really have no whatsoever idea about BASIC programming)

what i want to do is get a camera to capture the image and then store
it in the memory of the hc11 evaluation board. ones like microcore-11
sold at the technological arts website.

then i want to use the code(the BASIC program codes i mentioned
earlier) to output some kind of ascii characters and then save it as a
.txt file

(its exactly what the code is supposed to do)

so...pls help me...and thanks a lot.

Ok, then you need to use whatever BASIC interpreter or compiler
you have installed on your machine. If you use a Windows type machine,
then try opening an "MSDOS Prompt" window, and typing the command
BASIC or GWBASIC, whichever works. When the interpreter starts up
(presuming it does), then try entering the program exactly as
you see it, one line at a time. When you are through, then
use the command

SAVE "MYPROG.BAS"

where you replace the characters in quotes with the name of a file
you want to save it to. To run the program, use the command

RUN

Then start your program on the '11 which needs to send 110
characters.

After that, the BASIC program should terminate. To exit the
interpreter, use the command

SYSTEM

If at a later date, you want to re-run the program, start the
interpreter, and then use the command

LOAD "MYPROG.BAS"

where the string is the name of the file you saved the program
to. You can now use the RUN command again.

Failing that, get a book on PC BASIC Programming and read it.
