Yeah, you can’t create const arrays in squirrel, you’d have to do:
wCRCTable <- [ 0x0000, 0x1021… (etc) ];
This works fine though, and I’ve done similar stuff for forming CRCs in squirrel before now.
Thanks. Taking a bit of getting used to the initialization.

I’m trying to add the crc word on the back of a message and getting a funny error - of course maybe there is an easy way of adding the 16bit word on.
ERROR: the index ‘writen’ does not exist
ERROR: at modBusTxSync:164
ERROR: from entryTimer:266
local wCrcWord= CRC16calc(rtuReq_blob, rtuReq_blob.len()); local crcLsb =(0xff&wCrcWord); local crcMsb = (0xff&(wCrcWord>>8)); local txBuf_blob = blob(rtuMsgLen+2); txBuf_blob = rtuReq_blob;// want to crcLsb +crcMsb; txBuf_blob.writen(crcLsb,'b'); << Error
So, you shouldn’t be creating a blob then assigning it like that - the empty blob you created will just be thrown away on assignment, I believe. However, I’m not sure whether the assignment is working right there… Peter may have to comment.
If the last 2 lines are:
txBuf_blob.writeblob(rtuReq_blob); txBuf_blob.writen(crcLsb,'b');
…does that work?
Weell the following compiles, but gives me a runtime ERROR: invalid type tag
function modBusTxSync(rtuReq_blob,rtuMsgLen){ local wCrcWord= CRC16calc(rtuReq_blob, rtuMsgLen); txBuf_blob=blob.writeblob(rtuReq_blob); << err: invalid type tag txBuf_blob.writen(wCrcWord,'w');
which I’m calling from
const rtuRdDataReq_blob = "\\x01\\x03\\x00\\x04\\x00\\x01\\xc5\\xcb"; ... modBusTxSync(rtuRdDataReq_blob,rtuRdDataReq_blob.len());
Because rtuRdDataReq_blob isn’t a blob – it’s a string. Use txBuf_blob.writestring() instead?
Peter
Ok, thanks for the hint about the ‘invalid type tag’ - now I see its not a string :). However
local txBuf_blob=blob.writestring(rtuReq_blob); >>ERROR: the index 'writestring' does not exist
or trying
local txBuf_blob=blob(20); txBuf_blob.writestring(rtuReq_blob);>>ERROR: the index 'writestring' does not exist
If I look up
http://squirrel-lang.org/doc/sqstdlib3.html#d0e2173
I can’t see a .writestring() - though I like the idea.
The following doesn’t cause any runttime issues
local txBuf_blob=blob(20); txBuf_blob.writen(crcLsb, 'b');
Oh, whoops, blob.writestring is an Electric Imp extension to Squirrel, and while it’s in the next imp firmware release, it’s not in the current one. Until then, turning a string s into a blob b looks like this:
local b = blob(s.len()); foreach (c in s) b.writen(c, 'b');
Peter
Wonderful that works for me. Thanks very much.
Great to hear some interesting extensions ~ I’d throw in my 2cents for some documentation that covers all the EI extensions. Looking at the wiki it would be describes the librarys extensions - currently I try searching everything to see if a keyword exists.
I’ve pushed out the basic Modbus program
