When you put faith in AI, always be disappointed. Now I know the core foundations I have to start from scratch because Gemini keeps hitting what I call the Admiral Ackbar crash

What does this have to do with the discussion topic?

I used AI to create the ULI blockly front end for my Interface B code but it got to a stage where the AI kept getting confused blocking the port and causing the "Its A Trap" error when running the code which instantly crashes code and programs.

Hacker voice: "I'm in."

(I got a response from my Interface B via serial.)

Heehee, oh yes.

Just read these 31 bytes, and the byte bombarding begins ...

 

Here it is, in QBASIC 

PRINT #1, "p" + CHR$(0) + "###Do you byte, when I knock?$$$";
 'Programm stalls here, when USB2Ser adapter was unplugged during run
 'time and then plugged back in; CTRL NumLock = break into program.
R$ = INPUT$(31, #1) '"###Just a bit off the block!$$$"=31 byte
 'If it is 31 byte, just throw it away; if not throw an error.

Fun time.

I always LOL'd at that communication string, but what baffles me is why it's mentioned in an Interface A manual! I can't recall which one right now.

I guess it isn't? This is only relevant for getting "access" to Interface B = starting its serial data spit-out frenzy, isn't it?

You even need the 5 chars in front of the "phrase", I forgot how many of these chars it actually reads, maybe all. 

Interface A requires no initialization at all, just the I/O chips in the computer driving it may need port direction initialization.

I could swear I saw it in an A manual once, which made no sense at all. I don't have time to go look right now.
