Problem with VT100 Terminal.

Hello all,

I'm am using Simon Fords VT100 Terminal library,

I have copy the example program and it works fine, however, when I add in a while(1) {} loop it hangs, I'm using Hyper Terminal on the pc.

Any suggestions why this might be?

Regards,

Dale

Hi Dale,

try following in file: Terminal.cpp

void Terminal::locate(int column, int row) {
    // Cursor Home    <ESC>[{ROW};{COLUMN}H
    this->printf("\033[%d;%dH", row + 1, column + 1);
}

Hi,

How about adding wait(1) after term.cls() ?

Hi Dale,

You have to give hyperterminal chance to process the 'esc' characters sent to change location colour cls etc.,

so place a small delay after each 'esc' control i.e term.locate(x,y); wait(0.1); term.cls(); wait(0.1);
