UART + Dynamic HTML

Jose_86 — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 04:24:03 GMT

Hello,

I would like to show in a dynamic web page (using coldfire lite http server) a date inserted by UART port of MC5233DEMO.

The code used:

void collect_sensor_data( void )
{

html_vars[3] = getch();

}

It doesn't work. The funcion getch() always returns -1. ¿Do u have any idea? Thanks!

I'm having the same problem. Could you post what your solution was so it may help others?

Thank you,

We replaced the call to getch with the UART port as follows:

Code:

html_vars[14]  = MCF_UART1_URB;

This appears to be working.
