Question on UART of SK18B sample source code

[gorgom]

Hi,

uart_send(10);

May I know what is the meaning of the number (10) in the above code. Where I can find the detail about the number in the bracket because I think there are other numbers beside 10.

I'd guess 10 is the ASCII code for Line Feed, ie carriage return. You can try 0x41 to 0x5A to see if it displays A-Z in capital...

I think uart_send (10) is sending decimal value of 10 to uart as explained by allen. If the uart is connected to HyperTerminal or similar program, it will produce New Line, or sometime called Line Feed. The cursor will jump to following line. So if you send any ASCII code after that command, it will appear on new line.

As Allen suggested, try it with different value, it will not explode or damage your system.
