How do I change diagnostic level /x in C program

[aditya.alate]

I am currently working on some kind of low level HDD diag and recovery tool project.
I have built RS232-TTL converter and connected HDD using it. Now Trying to build a GUI tool to communicate to HDD and do requested things.


Till Now I am successful in writing C code for sending single byte diagnostic commands to Seagate SATA drive. BUt when I am sending a multibyte command like "/1", it is giving me output like "Input Command Error".

I am using BYTE array to scan user input and passing char * pointer to that array to my function which writes that string to COM port i.e HDD.

Note : All diagnostic commands are working properly while connected with HyperTerminal or Putty.

Is anybody having any idea, suggestion for this.

Introduce a delay between characters sent and lines.

you do need a delay. You also (as I found with my machine) need the GND connected or you get bullsh1t echo

Hurray!

the problem is resolved as line feed is added to data to be written
(scanf( ) omits the \n so i added it explicitly)

thats the easy bit
