delay while reading data from QTcpSocket every 20ms

[laedri]

hello,

im working with QTCreator on Windows ultimate 64 bit edition. im trying to read data from qtcpsocket every 20ms. but i see a delay which is increasing more as the time pass.

i was working with ex method: writing my own socket class inherited from abstractsocket class. then i added qthread to this (inheriting from qthread again). those 2 ways didnt work.

then i saw qthread is no longer abstract:

http://labs.qt.nokia.com/2010/06/17/...oing-it-wrong/
http://labs.qt.nokia.com/2006/12/04/...-the-headache/

and i tried applying this method and reading but the delay still occurs.

im attaching zip files of my whole projects.

any ideas, advices?

Why are you trying to read every 20ms rather than just reading when there is data available?

[laedri]

if you looked at source codes, im not doing anything special to read every 20ms. it is caused by the system im working on.
there is a sensor hardware which is acting as server and sending data every 20ms if there is a connected client.
so data is available every 20ms.

i found the problem.

i added

unsigned long int len = tcpSocket->bytesAvailable();
qDebug("%lu %d",len ,sizeof(pScanBufferParsed_t));

to slot() of readyRead() signal.

and results are always same and like this:

1680 560

which means exactly 3 times my pScanBufferParsed_t type size. in other words, readyRead() is emitting at every 3 packages.

anything that i can do to make readyRead emitted at every package?
