Serial in Service Module

[Scantech]

Will the Serial_Connected event get raised in the service module? I am having hard time getting it going in the service module.

Serial is dim in Service module Process_Globals and initialized in Create.

I recently added a activity form and needed to transfer the serial to service module. That way, both activities can work with the Serial_Connected Event.

It is recommended to use a service for Serial communication.

It works fine from a service.

Yeah, it is doable. Got it going. However, calling Serial.connect from activities will not work. I set the Serial.connect in the Service Module and use the Callsub feature and that did the trick.

It is better to use CallSubDelayed:
