baud rate

[JCG77]

Hi there,

We've got a touch screen that we are interfacing with a myRIO. The touchscreen sends rs232 signals from it's microcontroller to a rs232 to ttl dte converter which then connects to the Diligent Motor Adaptor on the myRIO. I think the baud rate is the problem because I can read some type of information from the touchscreen in LabVIEW but the information is messy junk. The touchscreen's baud rate is 9600, and the spec sheets say the baud rate of the rs232 to ttl converter covers from 300 to 115k. Is anyone able to lend us a hand to get some data that makes sense please?

Thank you,

James

I would try to narrow down completely where the issue is occuring. You have multiple possible sources of conversion/rate error and nothing stands out from the information you've given so far. As well, how in LabVIEW are you reading in data and what exactly does messy junk mean?
