serial in timeout does not simulate

[giuseppe]

Hello all

I have been trying make this line of code work within my program but VSM seems to have a problem running it.

serin [300],5,7,b0

When I try to run this code by itself outside of my program (meaning what is above is the only thing I am trying to simulate) the 28X1 in VSM will give the error: "Syntax Error". However, within the PICAXE editor, it reports no errors.

I instead tried to us the code:

serin 5,7,b0

...and it works. This seems to be implying that for some reason, I am not able to use a timeout within VSM.

Anyone know of why this is happening?

You can either update the 28x1 compiler (picxe28x1.exe) in VSM to the latest version, or just use this equivalent instead:

serin [300, nextline], 5, 7, b0
nextline:

Thanks! This helps.
