Serial data received

[manel.sam]

Imu::~Imu()
{
serialPort->close();
}

void Imu::handleError(QSerialPort::SerialPortError error)
{
if (error == QSerialPort::ResourceError){
qDebug()<<"Handle Error"<<error;
serialPort->close();
}
}

void Imu::pollSerialPort()
{

 QByteArray d= serialPort->readAll().toHex();

   QByteArray hexData = d.append(serialPort->readAll().toHex());

qDebug() << "Serial received " << hexData;

i used it like this

@manel-sam
This is wrong because you have two calls to serialPort->readAll(). How many more times can I say you cannot afford to do this? [In fact you kind of get away with this the way you write, but why are you calling it twice??]

[manel.sam]

@JonB Sorry, I copied the wrong code

I used the readAll once, but I still get the 0 Bytes

@manel-sam can you show more of your code, calling connect multiple times will lead to such a behaviour as well

Imu::Imu() :
moving(false)
{

serialPort = new QSerialPort("COM3",this);

if (serialPort->open( QIODevice::ReadWrite))
{

    qDebug()<<"SerialPort"<<serialPort<<"Opened successufly";
}
else
{
    qDebug()<<serialPort->error();
    QSerialPortInfo::availablePorts();
}

if (!serialPort->setBaudRate(57600))
    log_error("imu","failed to set baudrate, error no %d",serialPort->error());
serialPort->setDataBits(QSerialPort::Data8);
serialPort->setParity(QSerialPort::NoParity);
serialPort->setStopBits(QSerialPort::OneStop); // One Stop bit
serialPort->setFlowControl(QSerialPort::NoFlowControl);
qDebug()<<"error"<<serialPort->errorString();

QObject::connect(this->serialPort,SIGNAL(readyRead()),this,SLOT(pollSerialPort()));
QObject::connect(serialPort, &::QSerialPort::errorOccurred,this,&Imu::handleError);

}

Imu::~Imu()
{
serialPort->close();
}

void Imu::handleError(QSerialPort::SerialPortError error)
{
if (error == QSerialPort::ResourceError){
qDebug()<<"Handle Error"<<error;
serialPort->close();
}
}

void Imu::pollSerialPort()
{

QByteArray hexData;
hexData.append(serialPort->readAll().toHex());

qDebug() << "Serial received " << hexData;
QByteArray data = QByteArray::fromHex(hexData);

// data size
qInfo() << QStringLiteral("data size is : ") << data.size() << " octets";

QDataStream stream(data);

// Read The BigIndian value
stream.setByteOrder(QDataStream::BigEndian);
qint16 headerSignature;
stream >> headerSignature;

@manel-sam said in Serial data received:

QByteArray hexData;
hexData.append(serialPort->readAll().toHex());

hexData is local, so you append nothing !

hexData.append(serialPort->readAll().toHex());
qDebug() << "Serial received " << hexData;
QByteArray data = QByteArray::fromHex(hexData);

you convert to ascii then back to binary !!??

You must check the packet is complete (37 bytes) before processing any further.

And where in your code do you now get this?

Separately you need to follow @mpergand's comments.

In handleError() you only report anything if QSerialPort::ResourceError, and silently ignore if any other error, for whatever reason. Please don't write code like this, and certainly not while developing/debugging.

@mpergand Yes it was just to visualize the data in hexa as in the documentation of my sensor, then I preferred to work in binary.

So the append I should do it where§?

Create a member variable in your imu class.

    // _packetData  member variable of imu
    _packetData.append(serialPort->readAll());
    
    if(_packetData.size()>=PACKET_LENGTH)
        {
        // packet complete
        qInfo() << QStringLiteral("data size is : ") << _packetData.size() << " octets";
        qDebug() << "Serial received " << _packetData.toHex();
        
        // go ahead with this packet
        QDataStream stream(_packetData);
        
        // Read The BigIndian value
        stream.setByteOrder(QDataStream::BigEndian);
        qint16 headerSignature;
        stream >> headerSignature;
        }

You may also check the data received don't exceed PACKET_LENGTH, cause it means you have already received data from the next packet. (it may be irrelevant in your case, I don't kown)
