Things get even more complex in GUI applications, which uses the event driven model that they're used to.NET SerialPort library This complexity is the reason that a lot of programs have bugs in their serial communication routines. Asynchronous programming is often an excellent way to increase performance, but it certainly increases complexity as well. Win32 provides asynchronous function calls also known as overlapped operations to circumvent these problems. Another problem is that you don't know when the data arrives and often you don't even know how much data will arrive. If you do need these handshaking options, then you can use the Win32 API to do that and still use the classes provided by the library. These types of handshaking are rarely used, so it would probably only complicate the classes. The Win32 API provides more handshaking options, which aren't directly supported by this library. These situations are hard to reproduce so make sure that you did setup handshaking correctly and that the used cable is working correct if you're using hardware handshaking before you continue. Problems with handshaking are pretty hard to find, because it will often only fail in cases where buffers overflow. This process of controlling the transmission of data is called handshaking and there are basically three forms of handshaking. It would be nice when the receiving machine could tell the sending machine to stop sending data for a while, so it won't overflow the receiver's buffers. If the sending machine can send data more quickly then the receiving machine can process we get more and more data in the receiver's buffer, which will overflow at a certain time. Handshaking is being used to control the amount of data that can be transmitted. Handshaking is much more difficult, because it's more difficult to detect problems in this area. The only way to cope with this is that you understand what these settings are all about.īaudrate, parity, databits and stopbits are often quite easy to find out, because when they match with the other endpoint, you won't have any problems if your computer is fast enough to handle the amount of data at higher baudrates. Unfortunately, no class can help you with these problems.
If both endpoints doesn't use the same setting you get garbled data. Serial communication uses different formats to transmit data on the wire.NET SerialPort library Some problems are solved in this library, but some others cannot be solved by a library.
There are several reasons, which I'll try to explain.
#RASPBERRY PI .NET SERIAL PORT DATARECEIVED UPDATE#
If you find one or correct a bugplease inform me so I can update the library. I think most bugs have been solved, but unfortunately I cannot guarantee that there are no bugs left. The library has been developed as a public domain library some time ago, but it has been used in several commercial applications. I tried to make these classes as efficient, reliable and robust as possible, without sacrificing ease of use too much. Many other programmers wrote their own classes, but I found many of them too inefficient or they weren't robust, scalable or suitable for non-MFC programs. The classes provided in the library are not the only classes, which handle the serial communication. After reading that chapter you'll probably be convinced as well that you need a class, which deals with serial communication. Serial communication is hard and good knowledge of its implementation saves you a lot of work, both now and in the future First I'll briefly discuss why serial communications is hard. Its documentation is extensive, because I want to give you a good background. The classes provided in the library try to make life a little easier. Things get even more complicated when you want to use serial communication in an MFC based program.
