Echoing...
I finally got my little UART programme to echo. :-D
It's not wonderful, but it's a start and it's running at 9600 baud.
Shortly thereafter I massaged the VB.NET code for my serial comms programme.
That enables me to interpret what goes out and what comes back and do things like throughput tests and the like and keep track of how reliable the comms link is. :-)
For my last act tonight I cranked the baud rate up to 19.2 to see if I had any problems. There weren't. :-)
Once I solid up the comms routines I will go on to implimenting the passthrough protocol for the token ring communications that Simon put together so that I can use my board on the same token ring with the rest of the boards. :-)
