[oopic] Re: oSerialL - Really confused

I only have to send. I am trying to control a Daisy MP3 player (open
source kit from Make Magazine) with the ooPIC using the Daisy's Simple
Serial Mode (see below). According to the docs for both devices, the
only thing I should have to do select track 1 would be something like:

oSerialL MP3 = New oSerialL;

// Init Values

MP3.IOLineS = 31;
MP3.Baud = cv9600;

Void main(Void){

MP3.Value = 1;

}

I an not sure if I am missing something.

Here is what the Daisy is looking for....

SIMPLE SERIAL MODE
Jumpers: X only

In this mode the player accepts one byte at a time over the serial
port, and depending on the
value of the byte will perform certain operations. The bytes are not
ascii, they are just pure
bytes. So sending an ascii "0" is actually sending a 0x30 (decimal
48). Be careful in your code!

If the byte is 0 to 180, it will play track 0 to 180.
If the byte is 192 to 255, it will set the volume.
Value 184 toggles pause on and off.
Value 183 turns looping mode on.
Value 182 turns looping mode off.
Value 181 is a kind of reset. It kills the present song and sets it to
"not pausing" mode.
