I want to connect Arduino nano and GNSS (SIMCom’s SIM33ELA standalone GNSS module).
First I wrote a program for rx/tx, which is worked well, but now I want to use Software Serial and I got something wrong data.
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
char incomingByte; // for incoming serial data
double tbs;
SoftwareSerial mySerial(8, 9); // RX, TX
void setup() {
Serial.begin(115200);
while (!Serial) {
}
mySerial.begin(115200);
while (!mySerial) {
}
}
void loop() {
if (mySerial.available()) {
tbs = mySerial.read();
incomingByte = (char)tbs;
Serial.print(incomingByte);
}
/*if (Serial.available() > 0) {
incomingByte = Serial.read();
Serial.print(incomingByte);
}*/
}
Any Idea?
Pictures about results:
Wrong data with Software serial
Good data with Serial
Mostly, don't read one character into a double floating-point variable. Just do this:
void loop()
{
if (mySerial.available()) {
char c = mySerial.read();
Serial.write( c );
}
}
You should also use AltSoftSerial on those two pins. SoftwareSerial is very inefficient, because it disables interrupts for long periods of time. It cannot transmit and receive at the same time. In fact, the Arduino can do nothing else while a character is transmitted or received.
For a GPS library, you could try NeoGPS. It's the only Arduino library that can parse the sentences from the newest devices. It's also smaller, faster, more reliable and more accurate than all other libraries.

Good afternoon people
I’m having problems using the ES32 Serial buffer.
My code below has the function of storing the data received on the Serial port and print this data in the Serial Monitor, but it works one way on the Arduino IDE and on PlatformIO it works the other way.
Code compiled in the Arduino IDE test:
Code compiled in the PlatformIO test:
Can anyone help me with a solution?
Thank you very much in advance
Below is the code example.
#include <Arduino.h>
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
if (Serial.available()) {
int i = 0;
while(Serial.available()>0){
char a = Serial.read();
Serial.print(a);
Serial.print(", ");
i = 1;
}
if(i == 1)
{
Serial.println("");
i = 0;
for(int r = 0; r < 61; r++){char u = Serial2.read();}
}
}
}
i need to use another serial to send data from arduino teensy to processing because default serial (Serial.begin(9600)) already used for big program
i try to read some reference about how maybe i can change from which serial i want to receive (https://processing.org/reference/libraries/serial/Serial.html), but i dont think it can be change
void setup() {
Serial.begin(115200); // already used
Serial2.begin(9600); // processing
}
void loop() {
Serial.println("...") //big code that i am not allow to change
Serial2.println("hello world");
delay(1000);
}
i expected to get "hello world" in my processing repeatly, but i really dont have any idea how to write the code so i can get value from Serial2 instead from Serial
It depends on what Teensy module you are using and how you're doing the wiring.
Please see the Teensy Using the Hardware Serial Ports article for more details.
If possible I'd try their UART/USB example:
// set this to the hardware serial port you wish to use
#define HWSERIAL Serial1
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
HWSERIAL.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
int incomingByte;
if (Serial.available() > 0) {
incomingByte = Serial.read();
Serial.print("USB received: ");
Serial.println(incomingByte, DEC);
HWSERIAL.print("USB received:");
HWSERIAL.println(incomingByte, DEC);
}
if (HWSERIAL.available() > 0) {
incomingByte = HWSERIAL.read();
Serial.print("UART received: ");
Serial.println(incomingByte, DEC);
HWSERIAL.print("UART received:");
HWSERIAL.println(incomingByte, DEC);
}
}
If that hows with the same USB connection at the same time, negotiate with your colleague so you get to use the easier one that simply shows up as another Serial port in Processing.
If that is not an option:
double check the pinout the Serial Ports article above but also the logic level voltage (e.g. might be 3.3V, not 5V)
get a USB Serial converter (for the right logic level) - this will show up as a different Serial port using Processing's Serial.list()
connect Serial2's TX pin to the convertor's RX pin and read the data in Processing (similar to process to how you'd read Serial, just a different port name)
I tried to allow sending and receiving data using 2 Arduino Unos, 2 LORA chips (SX1278 433MHz), 2 antennas and 2 Arduino IDE.
Problem is with the receiving data command.
This is the code for SENDING command:
#include <SPI.h>
#include <LoRa.h>
int counter = 0;
const int ss = 10;
const int reset = 9;
const int dio0 = 2;
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
LoRa.begin(433E6);
LoRa.setPins(ss, reset, dio0);
while (!Serial);
Serial.println("LoRa Sender");
}
void loop() {
Serial.print("Sending packet: ");
Serial.println(counter);
// send packet
LoRa.beginPacket();
LoRa.print("hello ");
LoRa.print(counter);
LoRa.endPacket();
counter++;
delay(5000);
}
On serial monitor, I succeed in sending packages, but not receiving. This is the RECEIVING code:
#include <SPI.h>
#include <LoRa.h>
const int ss = 10;
const int reset = 9;
const int dio0 = 2;
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
LoRa.begin(433E6);
LoRa.setPins(ss, reset, dio0);
while (!Serial);
Serial.println("LoRa Receiver");
}
void loop() {
// try to parse packet
int packetSize = LoRa.parsePacket();
if (packetSize) {
// received a packet
Serial.print("Received packet '");
// read packet
while (LoRa.available()) {
Serial.print((char)LoRa.read());
Serial.print("hello ");
}
// print RSSI of packet
Serial.print("' with RSSI ");
Serial.println(LoRa.packetRssi());
}
}
I used instructions about connections from this git page:
https://github.com/sandeepmistry/arduino-LoRa
To make this board work, I had to explicitly initialize SPI
SPI.begin(/*sck*/ 5, /*miso*/ 19, /*mosi*/ 27, /*ss*/ cs);
It may be the same for yours. Also, you should properly initialize Lora:
while (!LoRa.begin(433E6)) {
Serial.print(".");
delay(500);
}
Serial.println("LoRa Initializing OK!");
With the code you posted, you don't really know if it initialized correcly or if it's actually sending any data.
First I haven't worked with Lora library. I worked with SX1278 libaray. So I can help you with that.
At first here is the link to the libaray - Lora SX1278.h library
Now you might ask why I'm not using the library from the original GitHub repo. Well I faced issue with that library and the issue is this:
The sx1278::getPacket() library function is modified to stabilize the Lora receive functionality. There was a bug which led the esp to panic. The payloadlength read from the REG_FIFO register was not checked for valid value which led to reading the REG_FIFO register read for over 65000 times. Moreover yield() is added in time consuming parts of this function.
That is why I'm using this custom library. Anyway, for you:
You can use this function to send packet:
T_packet_state = sx1278.sendPacketTimeoutACK(ControllerAddress, message); //T_packet_state is 0 if the packet data is sent successful.
Also to receive data use this function:
R_packet_state = sx1278.receivePacketTimeoutACK(); //R_packet_state is 0 if the packet data is received successfully.
And at the beginning of the code just define this few things:
//Lora SX1278:
#define LORA_MODE 10 //Add your suitable mode from the library
#define LORA_CHANNEL CH_6_BW_125 //Ch number and Bandwidth
#define LORA_ADDRESS 3 //Address of the device from which you will send data
uint8_t ControllerAddress = 5; //Address of receiving end device
My first decent answer on StackOverflow. Finger Crossed
Based on the circuit below, I tried hooking up two Arduino Mega for serial communication.
The code for sender:
char mystr[3] = "Hello"; //String data
void setup() {
// Begin the Serial at 9600 Baud
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
Serial.write(mystr, 5); //Write the serial data
delay(1000);
}
The code for receiver:
char mystr[5]; //Initialized variable to store received data
void setup() {
// Begin the Serial at 9600 Baud
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
Serial.readBytes(mystr, 5); //Read the serial data and store in var
delay(1000);
}
There is no output in the Serial console of Arduino. Could someone please inform me of the possible cause and solution for the same. If I've missed out anything, over- or under-emphasized a specific point let me know in the comments.
If I understood this right you have one Arduino connected to your pc and to another Arduino?
The problem is that you need to specify which Serial port to use:
That is rather easy, just type Serial1 or Serial2 instead of just Serial. That allows you to open 2 Serial ports: One to your other Arduino and one to your Computer for Displaying the results !
LINK: https://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/MultiSerialMega
You need to check available data from serial:
void loop() {
if (Serial.available() > 0) {
// read the incoming byte:
Serial.readBytes(mystr, 5);
Serial.print("I received: ");
Serial.println(mystr, DEC);
}
}
I am trying to get my ESP8266's connect and send messages over an i2c bus. I am using a NodeMcu Development Board. Pins D1,D2 and GND are connected to each other.
The code on my master is :
#include <Wire.h>
void setup() {
Wire.begin(D1,D2); // join i2c bus (address optional for master)
Serial.begin(115200);
}
byte x = 0;
void loop() {
Wire.beginTransmission(8);
Wire.write(x); // sends one byte
Wire.endTransmission(); // stop transmitting
Serial.println("Transmitted");
x++;
delay(500);
}
And the code on my slave ESP is:
#include <Wire.h>
void setup() {
Wire.begin(8); // join i2c bus with address #8
Wire.onReceive(receiveEvent); // register event
Serial.begin(115200); // start serial for output
}
void loop() {
delay(100);
}
// function that executes whenever data is received from master
// this function is registered as an event, see setup()
void receiveEvent(int howMany) {
Serial.println("Received..");
/*
while (1 < Wire.available()) { // loop through all but the last
char c = Wire.read(); // receive byte as a character
Serial.print(c); // print the character
}
*/
int x = Wire.read(); // receive byte as an integer
Serial.println(x); // print the integer
}
Running this gives no output on the receiver chip.
As mentioned in the comments it doesn't look like I2C is supported, but you could use PJON
You just need to connect a single wire to enable communication between the two devices
I'm not sure but I would expect the Wire library from Arduino to use the hardware I2C controller for ATMega. The I2C driver in the firmware from Espressif seems to be doing I2C over GPIO, that would hint there is no hw controller on ESP (what are the odds they would be the same anyway). So you need to use something else than Wire.h, thus I would suggest - try downloading something that fakes I2C over GPIO for your Arduino IDE. Like this .. maybe, I haven't tried that out. I know not a complete solution, but maybe at least this helps.. good luck!
ESP8266(I2C Master) to ESP8266(I2C Slave) works from version 2.5.0. Check out my comments on the ESP8266 GitHub
