Hi,

I'm trying to read in a text value using the datalinq ascii option. It's a UDP packet with 5 characters, formatted 00:00 (clock). I am able to see the data in the logger no problem, but I can't seem to lock in on that field. It shows up in datalinq log in real time as rx: **20:00**

If I start the clock I see each second appear in real time on the log. I've tried all the different start of packet an end of packet and can't seem to lock it in to a field. The value for my field when I "browse" in datalinq is still blank. Those 5 bytes are the only thing being transmitted in the packet. Any ideas what I might be missing? My start byte is 1 and length is 5. Trim is turned off.

Thanks,
Bradley

I believe the ASCII datalinq needs an End of Packet byte in the datastream so it knows when the packet has arrived. This can be a Carriage Return or any other ascii value, but there must be something to deliminate where the packets end.

Thanks! I added a character to the end my transmission and that solved the problem.

Follow up question... Is it possible to do a UDP broadcast from Dashboard? I have it working now where I'm transmitting to 1 specific address, but I would like to set it up where it could broadcast to any device or datalinq on the network.

You'll get better responses if you ask this on the dashboard forum.. James Peltzer on that forum should have the answer for you.
