Project Help and Ideas » LED Array Serial Communications Problem
May 10, 2011 by cantuchthis1 |
On my LED Array, I can use the number pad and get every number to scroll across the array and it'll look great. But when I send letters, all it sends is a "?" or if I type a sentence it'll be "------?". I'm not sure how to use the C programming yet because my goal right now is just to learn some of the basics of the kit. I can't figure out why letters won't work. Any ideas? |

This is probably happening because the LED Array as coded only recognizes capital letters. If it gets a character it does not recognize (like a lower case letter) it just prints a ?. Humberto |

Actually just realized that if I put caps lock on, it works. I'm guessing there was a misscommunication between the lowercase letters. |

Thanks Humberto! |
