I am trying to send a command followed by a set of data through the serial comm.
E.g. The application from the PC writes char "S1000E" to the serial. The FPGA UART receives this as "S" "1" "0" "0" "0" "E" (I have it write back to HyperTerminal). In ASCII, "1" = 31(hex) or 49(dec) or 11001(bin).
The question is... how do I store the value 1000(dec) to a register in bits? I understand I will somehow need to convert the ascii 1 to bin 1 and have a shift register to store the values... I just don't know how...

Cheers,
Will
 

if you use dockligh(another hyperterminal program) you can send data in ascii or binary.
