Having trouble with TTL port

[Gene F]

I have written the following code for talking to the TTL port. When I run the code on the EDUBot it works great I then try it on the Robot controller and I don't get any characters coming in. I have placed my SensorInitializePort() in the User_Initialization () routine and my SensorPackRead () routine in the Default_Routine() in the respective projects.

Note: If this is hard to read because of the tabs being removed by the forum I have attached the files in word format.
