Welcome to my tutorial on Serial Port Communication in VB. Net. Lately Ive seen a lot of questions on how to send and receive data through a serial port, so I thought. I want read my serial port but only when data comesI want not polling. This is how I do it. Schnittstelle new SerialPortCOM3. We tend to try and use standard generic Linux C libraries whenever possible so our knowledge and code is as portable as possible. Its not necessarily the easiest. FLH/5M1D/I99R0TLY/FLH5M1DI99R0TLY.MEDIUM.jpg' alt='C Code Read Serial Port' title='C Code Read Serial Port' />In computing, a serial port is a serial communication interface through which information transfers in or out one bit at a time in contrast to a parallel port.

If you are running Raspbian or similar then the UART will be used as a serial console. Using a suitable cable, such as the TTL 2. R 3. V3 WE, you can connect it to your PC and using some simple terminal software set to 1. N 1 use the command line interface to the Raspberry Pi in the same way as if you were using a keyboard and screen connected to it. However thats no use if you want to use the UART interface for your own application running on the RPi. Turning off the UART functioning as a serial console. Using The UART In Your C Code. This is based on the example code given here. Update from Maurice Garcia in the comments If you are using PI model 3 do not use devtty. AMA0 this is assigned to bluetooth, use devtty. S0.

To test the UART is working you can simply link the TX and RX pins to each other and verify minicom receives what you type. Troubleshooting UART Problems. The above code works weve used it for TX and RX. If you cant get to to work for you and youve been through the steps to release the UART from being used for the console try the following. This command will set read and write access permissions for all users on the UART it shouldnt be needed but can be used just to be sure there is not a permissions problem. AMA0. Baud Rate Error. Try using a slower BAUD rate or a single 0x. FF byte which only has the start bit low and see if it works. We had a problem using 1. RPi could hit 1. 13. TX from the RPi being received by the microcontroller worked fine. However when transmitting to the RPi nothing was ever received. Changing the microcontroller to use 1. RX to work. We then tested the RPi transmitting a byte of 0x. S, showing an actual baud rate of 1. RPi 8bits the start bit all low. This was odd as 1. Are you over or under clocking the RPi If so do you need to adjust the baud rate to compensate for this General UART Programming Resourceshttp www. HOWTOSerial Programming HOWTOx. We benefit hugely from resources on the web so we decided we should try and give back some of our knowledge and resources to the community by opening up many of our companys internal notes and libraries through mini sites like this. We hope you find the site helpful.
