USB serial component.

Hi all :-).

Would it be possible to add an extra parameter(length) or at least increment to 40 in "send string"?
Now it seems to be 20 chars in length as maximum length.

Best regards
Nick

Hi

Twenty characters is the default string length but you can change this under the variable properties.

Hi chipfryer27.

Yes but it doesn´t seem to matter. If I change the target string length to 40, still only 20 will be sent?
Or am I missing something?

Regards
Nick

Hi

I cannot look at your chart just now, only on my phone but I think something must not be set correctly.

I send and receive many dozens if not hundreds of bytes over the UART. Indeed if you subscribe to ThingSpeak (for example) that string is about 80 odd characters to update the server.

Hi

Ok thanks for your answer.
I will just adapt the string, into an array or several string with <= 20 chars.

Hi

Something isn't right as you should not need to do that. What is your target? Is it imposing any limitation?

Can you connect to a terminal and see what comes out?

Hi.

The case is the same ragrdless the target MCU.
As I wrote above, no matter what I put into function "send string", only ever 20 chars get sent.
But really, its not that big of deal, I have just now redone it as I mentioned, and it works.
Thank you for your feedback though :-)

Best Regards
