====== comGets ======

''short comGets (u8 comCh, u8* dest, u16 length)''
|comCh : Channel number | 
|dest: Pointer to where data that is read should be stored | 
|length: The amount of data (in bytes) to read | 
|Returns –1 if data is read; 0 if data is not read. | 

Reads length bytes from the receive buffer on channel comCh, and stores the data in memory at address
dest.

<code c>
#include "moacon500.h"
void cmain(void)
{
 char c[64];
 openCom(0, 115200, C8N1);            // Channel 0, 115200 Baud,
                                      // data bits: 8, no parity, stop bits: 1
 while (1)                            // Repeat forever
 {
   if(comLen(0) > 0)                  // if data exists in the receive buffer
   {
     comGets(0, c, 64);               // Read data from receive buffer in store it
                                      // and store it in char array, c.
   }
 }
}

The example program above reads data from the receive buffer as it arrives and stores it in char array c.
