[ANSWERED] How Use Send Serial Data actor With More Than 9 Parameters

[Fred]

I am trying to add 10 serial parameters to the send serial actor and it does not recognise the 10th (I am guessing as it is represented as 10 - 2 integers in a row.

Inside the send serial I have:

 "A" P1:Z3 "B" P2:Z3 "C" P3:Z3 "D" P4:Z3 "E" P5:Z3 "F" P6:Z3 "G" P7:Z3 "H" P8:Z3 "I" P9:Z3 "I" P10:Z3 "|/n"

But this throws an error with invalid hex character

This does work though:

 "A" P1:Z3 "B" P2:Z3 "C" P3:Z3 "D" P4:Z3 "E" P5:Z3 "F" P6:Z3 "G" P7:Z3 "H" P8:Z3 "I" P9:Z3 "|/n"

Yes, the Send Serial Data actor is limited to 9 input parameters. That's why the 'params' input only goes to 9.

The Text Formatter is similarly limited.

You should enter a feature request for this limit to be increased.

The workaround for the moment is to use two Text Formatters, one for the first nine parameters, a second for the last one, put the strings together using a Text Formatter, and finally sending the serial data using the Send Raw Serial Data.

Sorry for the inconvenience. Simplified example patch attached below.

@mark thanks, neat work around. I'll put in feature request when I get a chance.
