i created a simple chat program and i was wondering if there is any command i could use to see if something has been sent and one that sends without the receiving calculator using getcalc( the code i am using for my current program is:
Code:
:Lbl 1
:ClrHome
:Menu("CHAT","SEND",S,"RECIEVE",R,"QUIT",Q
:Lbl S
:Input "MSG:",Str1
:Goto 1
:Lbl R
:GetCalc(Str1
:Output(1,1,Str1
:Pause
:Goto 1
:Lbl Q
:DelVar Str1ClrHome
Other than using ASM or a library or hook app, your only option is GetCalc(). Nice job with this though.
you *could* have a variable (such as N) represent whether or not there is a "new" message. For example, for the send
Code: if N
str1 + str2 -> str2
and for receive
Code: getcalc(N
if (N)
then
getcalc(str2)
Disp str2
Well, of course, but he said he wanted to do it without GetCalc(). lafferjm, that's your best alternative if you decide to continue using GetCalc().
alright i think i will try out kllrnohj idea
Cool, let us know how that turns out. It's going to be the simplest and probably best way to do this.
Speaking of calc-chat, is there any way to lengthen the cable? It might be useful if you could have a conversation with someone across the room...

Only to a certain length, about 6 feet or so. Longer than that and you'll get signal degradation; you'd want hardware on each end to clean up the input signal, probably some kind of op-amp comparator.
Or just slap an
RF transciever on each end.
(Yeah, you'd need some support logic, unless you had two modules for each
)
