Hi All:
The thread on waterfall simulators:
https://www.electro-tech-online.com/threads/waterfall-printer.114242/
Has piqued my interest.
But, I think i need a tool to help simulate it before investing in a bunch of solenoid valves etc.
So here's the deal:
I want to send serial data asterisks to windows 'Terminal' including carriage returns so that I can 'Paint" the screen with the simulated water streams.
So if I want to simulate a 96 valve system I will have 96 characters per line and then a Newline (no CR) and then a line of asterisks and then a CR. Thus pushing the lines down the screen one by one....not adding new lines to the screen. I need to PUSH existing lines down the screen with new data coming on top.
How can this be achieved from a PIC and a USB conn? Serial over USB? Any links to do that?
