Lesson 22--Microduino "Serial port debugging"

Language:	English  • 中文

Objective In previous experiment, serial port is used to monitor data that means program write data to serial. This lesson will show how to read data the serial port received. Equipment Microduino-Core Microduino-FT232R Other hardware equipment Breadboard Jumper one box Breadboard one piece LED one 220Ω resistor one USB Data cable one Experiment 1 Serial receives character string Only need Microduino core and Microduino Ft232RL moduile, no other module. Program： String comdata = "";//Define a String variable void setup() { Serial.begin(115200);//Set the baud rate } void loop() { while (Serial.available() > 0) // If there is serial buffer data, continuous cycle { comdata += char(Serial.read()); //Read data, only read one byte every time delay(2);//serial buffer time } if (comdata.length() > 0) { Serial.println(comdata); //Print serial data comdata = "";//Clean the data } } Result: In serial monitor box, fill in any data in send window, then click send(or press enter),at the receive data window will display the data. Note: String type variable converts the characters into the string simply and can directly output a string or assignment. while (Serial.available() > 0): "While" can't change to "if", otherwise only can read one character. delay(2): Can't delete this, otherwise the serial buffer doesn't have enough time to receive new data. comdata = "": Can't delete this, otherwise serial port data will be added continuously. comdata defines the character string, that is array, you can use comdata[0], comdata[1]...comdata[n] to quote every data. Experiment 2 Serial control LED Program: String comdata = "";//Define a String variable int led=LOW; void setup() { Serial.begin(115200);//Set the baud rate pinMode(13, OUTPUT); } void loop() { while (Serial.available() > 0) //If there is serial buffer data, continuous cycle { comdata += char(Serial.read()); //Read data, only read one byte every time delay(2);//serial buffer time } if (comdata=="on") led = HIGH; else if(comdata=="off") led = LOW; digitalWrite(13,led); if (comdata.length() > 0) { Serial.print(comdata); //Print serial data Serial.print(" led:"); //Print serial data Serial.println(led); //Print LED state comdata = "";//Clean data } } Result: LED monitor: Pin D13 connects to a LED. In serial monitor box, write "on" in send window, then click send (or press enter), LED light. Write "off", click send (or press enter), LED off. LED keep the last state in other situation. Serian monitor In serial monitor box, write "on" in send window, then click send (or press enter), return ""on led:1". Write "off", click send (or press enter), return "off led:0". In other situation, return sent data and LED keep the last state.
