#### Reported by **Artur** #### Originally assigned to **Enrico SEGRE** ``` -- Bug description -- Hello, I try to use the Serialtoolbox of Enrico Segre (http://www.weizmann.ac.il/home/fesegre/scistuff/Serial.tgz) it's the only toolbox that run under SciLab 5.x.This toolbox is written in TCL. I can send some data via RS232 to a nother PC, but the second PC receive some different data and I can not send and receive a ascii(0)!(ascii(0) could be a problem of the toolbox) I think it's a problem of TCL "fconfigure -translation binary". So the translation works false. Look at example. I hope that is the right site to post that problem and hope you can help me to avoid that 'bug', if not please send me a link to a right forum or TCL bug tracking site. -- Scilab error message -- just for sending ascii(0) st=writeserial(h,ascii(0)); !--error 999 TCL_EvalStr, at line 1 missing close-brace while executing "set writeresult [catch {puts -nonewline file9d11ac8 {" at line 11 of function writeserial called by : writeserial(h,ascii(0)) -- How to reproduce the bug -- (you need the serialtoolbox to reproduce the "bug") for example: kmd=[109 112 102 205 204 140 63 205 204 140 63 205 204 140 63 205 204 140 63... 205 204 140 63 205 204 140 63 16 3]; hnd=openserial(5,"19200,n,8,1","binary"); k = ascii(kmd) k = mpfÍÌŒ?ÍÌŒ?ÍÌŒ?ÍÌŒ?ÍÌŒ?ÍÌŒ? st=writeserial(hnd,k) read data on second PC: r=readserial(hnd2) r=mpfÍ??Í??Í??Í??Í??Í?? r=ascii(r) r=109 112 102 205 12 --- 63 205 12 --- 63 205 12 --- 63 205 12 --- 63 205 12 --- 63 205 12 --- 63 16 3 (--- are bissing bytes and 12 is false too) I can not use that received data, cause it's faulty. ```
