IF doesn't work

hi,

i have code:

quote

#define e1 8  // enable pin motor 1
#define i1 53  // control pin 1 motor 1
#define i2 52  // control pin 2 motor 1
#include <wire.h>

int status = 0;
char data;


void setup(){
  serial.begin(57600);
 
  //direction pins
  pinmode(e1, output);
  pinmode(i1, output);
  pinmode(i2, output);
  digitalwrite(e1, high);
}

void loop()
{
 

  if (serial.available()){
    data = char(serial.read());
    serial.println(data);
    serial.print("status:");
    serial.println(status);
    char test = 1;
    if (data == test){
       serial.println("funciona");
    }
    if(data == test || status==1){
      digitalwrite(i1, high);
      digitalwrite(i2, low);
      status = 1;
    }
   

    if(char(data == 0) || status==0){
      digitalwrite(i1, low);
      digitalwrite(i2, low);
      status = 0;
    }
   
  }
//more code
}

the problem arduino does't goes throw if code. know data equal 1 because in line

code: [select]

data = char(serial.read()); code wrote 1. i'm sending number 1 option getbytes rxtx java pluggin.

but why data 1 doesn't pass if?

hi charlesblack

are expecting receive , compare character '1' (i.e. number 1 key on keyboard)?

if so, change statement be:

code: [select]

char test = '1';

the single quote marks make value ascii code character 1.  otherwise storing binary value 1.
