PROJECT 9 - Using Serial Terminal with Sertxd
The sertxd command sends a user defined serial string to the computer (at baud rate 4800). This can be
displayed by the included Serial Terminal function under the PICAXE ® >Terminal drop down menu. The
Serial Terminal can also be automatically opened every time a download takes place by checking the
“Open After Download” box in the View>Options>Editor drop down menu.
No flow chart is needed in this project since we are only changing the ‘debug’ command to the ‘sertxd’
command. Open project 8 basic program in the editor and change it to the following.
All text must be placed in
quotation marks and
should appear in red
(default color, but may be
changed in program editor
options.)
10 = line feed (LF)
13 = carriage return (CR)
Variables need the # sign
in front of them and will be
displayed in purple.
To open the Terminal window use the PICAXE ® drop down terminal or press F8 function key. The
terminal window shown on the next page will open.
