hi list i like to control one of those parallax servo controllers. therefore i thought to send the data via the comport object to the controller. the controller syntax isoue: "!SC", Channel, Ramp, pw.LOWBYTE, pw.HIGHBYTE, $0D. as "!SC" is the header, $0D the terminator and the other integers, the desired 'message' should look like this ["!SC",1,2,250,750,CR] but how could i get pd to send this string to the comport? ev'rything i tried separates messages on the comma... any idea around?
you can generate a symbol with virtually any _ASCII_ character with [makefilename %c] (you have to know the ASCII-code of the character)
with a series of [set ...( messages to [makefilename] you could create your "weird" symbol. (a simpler way might be the use of zexy's [list2symbol] with a delimiter ",")
