serin s_in, i9600, [dec in]
Question: Why basic-atom couldn’t work with hyper-terminal?
Reason:
The root of the problem is that the DTR line on the DB9 connector is used as a reset line to the module. With most windows based communication programs like hyperterminal the DTR (and RTS) lines are asserted even if you do not have hardware handshaking enabled. If you use the Terminal1 tab in the IDE and set it to the correct port and baud it should let you see your output. The only way to use hyperterminal is to disconnect the DTR line in the serial connection.
Solution:
make a cable that only connects RX, TX and GND, then it will work!
Question: how to make Bluetooth to serial port adaptor work with basic atom?
My Answer:
make a cable that only connects RX, TX and GND, also short RTS/CTS, since IOGEAR Bluetooth reqires hardware flow control and by connecting RTS/CTS, it fools the Bluetooth that it always ready to send/receive signals.
Question: some people complained that ATOM-Pro IDE suddenly stops being able to program the chip.
My Answer: Try to check ToolPreferencesGeneralComPort to see whether it is the right port.
