Topic: Buffer Overrun
|
| By: Mightymike | Posted on: Feb 11 2016 at 08:05:35 PM | Using MScomm before Windows 10 my micro-controller never had an issue. After installing Scomm, everything works great except once in a blue moon I am receiving an error from my micro-controller that says "Buffer Overrun". Any ideas?
Also.. how can I determine that I am running the latest version of Scomm? | |

They just affect the install process or the way the trial runs - for example v7 was a 30 day trial. v8 is time unlimited. v9 was just a name change to prevent conflicts with previous versions. So it's unlikely that an update would change the behavior your experiencing.
It sounds as if Scomm32 is sending more data quicker than expected.
Scomm32 shouldn't be any 'faster' that MScomm32 but maybe there's a few timing issues that caused MScomm32 to run a little slower in your specific project.
Are you using flow control? You didn't say any if there's any special protocol running.
Maybe the Micro Controller doesn't support any flow control (you didn't say)
If it was me I'd just try adding a short delay between data packets to give the previous packet time to process in the micro controller before then next packet arrives. | |
