Hi Alberto,
do you mean automatically? Like in a calculator?
Sorry, this would not be possible. But you find many internetlinks for that in google.
WD supports hex, dec and ASCII values as scripts. For this we have a syntax table in the helpfile

Ok.
But if I use the Text node Combiner how can I send the result on com ?
Similarly if I have a variable that contains the commands to be sent via serial how can I do?
If I insert Custom Script node ComSend.2,VGetNodeVal,PAINTING,20,2 in the program I use to monitor the serial I see VGetNodeVal, PAINTING, 20,2 not the value of the node or variable

In other words, how can I send to the serial port the contents of a string variable?

Many thanks, Alberto

Hello,

1) if you connect your text combiner with an output node "COM Port Message" or "COM Port ASCII Stream" you will send the combined text as soon as the text input changes.
2) you would send the variable name. WD is checking if a "value" or "message" within a script is in fact a variable. If it is, it will use the variables value.
3) ComSend,2,VGetNodeVal,PAINTING,20,2
this is a combination of 2 scripts and can not work
you can use...

COMSend,'ID','Message'
EVERYTHING behind the secon comma is interpreted as the message to be sent. In your example it is this: VGetNodeVal,PAINTING,20,2
if you have a variable set up, e.g variable name: var01 type: string Value: hello wonderful world
and you type the script:
COMSend,1,var01
you will receive: hello wonderful world

OR (not AND, at least not in the same line
VGetNodeVal,var01,4,2
this will overwrite "hello wonderful world" with the value that hides in node no. 4, parameter no. 2

Best regards,
