Not Telling
hello there,
first off let's look at your datreceived event handler;
static void serial_DataReceived(object sender, SerialDataReceivedEventArgs e)
{
Thread.Sleep(4000);
while (serial.BytesToRead > 0)
{
bytesread = serial.BytesToRead;
serial.Read(bytes, 0, bytes.Length) ;//bytes[] is declared earler: //static byte[] bytes = new byte[4610];
}
FillWorkingArrays();
}
lose the Thread.sleep statement.
//next if you are trying to parse out specific data in datareceived event handler
the place that you need to add the sleep statement is immediately AFTER sending to serial port.
in c# this would be
serialport.WriteLine("my data");
thread.sleep(300);
serialport.clearinputbuffer();
//now ready for next data
since you are using c# already anyways, it is not too hard to take file data, parse it out and push it to netduino.
that way you can lose the external file application and have your cake and eat it too, and not eat someone else's cake!
you are going to have to build a buffer, it is easiest to move the data as strings then once you push it to netduino, parse out to numbers at that end.
follow these steps;
string[] array = File.ReadAllLines(@"C:\path including your file");//this is VERY Fast file open, extract info, file close, all in one line!!!
the data; 111,2222 -- do you want this to be put into a lookup hash table, list<string.,string> or dictionary<string,string>? comma delimited.
or are you waiting to parse them out until you are on netduino?
next, you need a buffer, you can use a stack or a 256 level queue here. , or
you can put a whole packet into queue.
anyhow, something for you to get started on, ask questions, have fun.
cheers
ron
