Can't send a single byte out serial port - could use some help

[bvdb]

Hi,

When I send a byte out the serial port it is always followed by a space.  I need to not send the space.  Is there a way?


1000 open "COM4:115200,1024) as #1
1010 print #1,8;
1020 print 8;
1030 for i= 1 to 5000: next i
1040 goto 1010

produces: 8 8 8 8 8 8 8   not 88888888


Regards,

Bert

Hi,
Put quotes (") around the 8 and it will work
1020 PRINT "8";

8888888

It may be that it's not followed but rather preceded by a space (or - sign if you used a negative number).

Convert to a string ans do as already posted.
