I've got more of a technical question on the hardware
I am doing some programming and testing of a terminal emulator with the WiModem232. I've noticed with the code I am using, I am getting some dropped characters and they are pretty reproducible in location. Other software written by someone else is not experiencing the issue.
So, my first question is, how much of a buffer (bytes/characters) does the WiModem232 have?
And secondly, I am trying to determine which scenario below is the issue:
A) If characters have not been pulled from the buffer before it has exceeded capacity, do the additional characters get dropped?
or
B) Does the oldest characters in the buffer get overwritten and the WiModem232's current character pointer get updated to reflect the oldest character in the buffer?
Any feedback would be appreciated is appreciated as I try to dial in my polling requirements of the modem so I do not lose characters.
