hi, does anyone know why putty get stuck at scanf_P. I can't get it to go to printf_P even though I entered a number and entered.

int num; printf_P(PSTR("Please enter your number:rn")); scanf_P(PSTR("%d"),&num); printf_P(PSTR("Your num is:%drn"),num);

Hi kle8309,

Your code works on my NerdKit here. I get my number right back over the serial port. Is your programming cable perhaps loose? Are you able to program your kit just fine? Can you post the rest of your code, there might be an error in the rest of the program structure. Remember to indent the code block with at least 4 spaces in order to make sure the code block gets formatted correctly.

It has came to my attention that the putty requires a connection reset in order for scanf to work. The reset is done by turn off the power then switching the spdt switch to programming mode then turn on the power. Next, turn off the power and switch back to run mode.
Another way is to unplug the usb and replug it.

After unplugging the usb and replugging it, it seems like the problem is solved. Scanf worked perfectly times after times.

My next concern is that when I entered a backspace tab, the putty starts repeat itself in an infinite loop.

I believe that putty is reacting to non int input since I specified that an int was the input.
