|Does anybody know of a program, either PD or commercial, which will read |BAUDOT input from a serial port and convert it to ASCII, to output on |another serial port? | |If not, does anybody know of a board that will do this? This would be |very helpful for allowing me to send data to a commercial ASCII printer, |instead of an EX$PEN$IVE BAUDOT teletype printer. Bill, The Baudot code is very simple, only 5 bits per character with a shifted set to give a total of 64 symbols. UARTs can be programmed to accept 5 bit characters though you may in some cases need to make special hardware arrangements for the low baud rates. A simple table-driven routine that remembers the shift state will do what you want. For the Baudot code set, see a ref book like McNamara's Technical Aspects of Data Comm.
