Go to Post P.S. While I doubt Karthik's "Delgado" jersey would go for $500,000... it would be much cooler to see Carlos Degado wearing a "Kanagasabapathy" jersey. THAT I might pay for! - dtengineering [more]

Weird Output from Dashboard Port

OK, this has me confused now.

I'm trying to modify a Dashboard program I made last year to work with this year's new packet structure. It's pretty much the same, still 26 bytes, just have to add in a part to decode which packet is which based on the two control bytes, right?

Well, when I run my Dashboard program, the data from the serial port makes no sense. Random numbers, sometimes each number is one greater than the one before it, etc. The IFI Dashboard works fine, so I would think that mine should be ok too, but it seems not.

Last year I had no trouble reading in each packet and manipulating it, unless I tried to multiplex the data, for some reason that never worked. I'm thinking I might be having a similar problem, but I have no idea how to tell. If anyone has any ideas, or would like for me to upload the code to test themselves and maybe find a problem I'll do that (it's currently on my other computer, not a huge problem, just can't do it right at the moment).
