Lack of Data Read From Serial Port

**lucille** · 23rd April 2024, 11:38

Hi, ? am ne in Qt. I was trying to send data from STM32f407vg to Qt. The data is produced by RTC module and gives time, date (for example, 2024-03-11T17:01:24+08:00Monday). However the data read by Qt is not full in text edit always. It is like a loop below and repeated always.

```

When ? tested in termit terminal, the data is read properly like
2024-03-11T17:01:17+08:00Monday

The data is transmitted in stm32

Qt Code:

Switch view

sprintf(buffer, "%04d-%02d-%02dT%02d:%02d:%02d%+03d:%02d%s\n",
	  	  	  year, month, date, hour, minute, second, zone_hr, zone_min, DAYS_OF_WEEK[dow]);
 
HAL_UART_Transmit(&huart3, buffer, strlen(buffer), 1000);

sprintf(buffer, "%04d-%02d-%02dT%02d:%02d:%02d%+03d:%02d%s\n",
	  	  	  year, month, date, hour, minute, second, zone_hr, zone_min, DAYS_OF_WEEK[dow]);

HAL_UART_Transmit(&huart3, buffer, strlen(buffer), 1000);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

The data is read by qt code

Qt Code:

Switch view

QStringList bufferSplit = serialBuffer.split("\n"); 
    if(bufferSplit.length() < 3)
    {
        serialData = serialPort.readAll();
        serialBuffer += QString::fromStdString(serialData.toStdString());
    }
 
    else //bufferSplit[0] is a good value
    {
        qDebug() << bufferSplit;
        serialBuffer = "";
    }
 
    ui->display_line->append(bufferSplit[0]);
 
}

QStringList bufferSplit = serialBuffer.split("\n"); 
    if(bufferSplit.length() < 3)
    {
        serialData = serialPort.readAll();
        serialBuffer += QString::fromStdString(serialData.toStdString());
    }

    else //bufferSplit[0] is a good value
    {
        qDebug() << bufferSplit;
        serialBuffer = "";
    }

    ui->display_line->append(bufferSplit[0]);

}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

The data is splitted (according to \n) and stored in the buffer to be read.

The bufferlist is below and ? have taken 0. index

QList("2024-03-11T17:01:24+08:00Monday", "2024-03-11T17:01:25+08:00Monday", "")
