Hi,

I\'m looking for rs232 blocks for scicos like those implemented in the simulink code generation blockset:

Are they available anywhere? (i\'m not a programmer)

Thanks,
Ofir

Hi Ofir,

There are currently no blocks for RS232 communication on Scicos. But we implemented something on OpenZB and USB.

I do not know if you got answers about the problems you had in using the USB connection, but I hope they are solved... if they are not solved, could you please post the problems you are having on the forum?

Ciao,

Paolo

A quick reply to myself.-..

- Christian/Nino, could you please check if someone in the Retis lab has implemented communication over RS-232?

- Ofir, if you are going to implement some RS-232 blocks, I think that the good point where to start is the USBSend code on the dsPIC, and the DLL for Scicos on the Scilab host file. If I remember well, it should be not so difficult to improve the DLL on the host to support also serial communication...

Ciao,

Hello Paolo, thanks for the quick reply.

I still have a problem with the usb - i followed the instructions here:
http://www.evidence.eu.com/component/op ... temid,366/

Including this part: \"If the proposed value is 0x04 unselect the checkbox and insert the correct value. After flashing the device, reset the board and connect the USB cable. \"

But after resetting the board, the usb device appears as \"not recognized\".


I\'ll take a look at the ZigBee code.

Thanks,
Ofir
