C++ :: Reading And Writing Serial Data From USB
Jan 19, 2015
I am trying to make a project using arduino to control several power surces by time, i don't want to have an lcd, that would be easyer but i don't have enought space on my project, i want to set the time and the timing for the relays via Serial
Of curse i could set it using the serial monitor on the arduino ide, but i want to make a simple program to make the pc comunicate with the arduino and make it simpler to set the time and similar stuff. How to use one of my usb ports to print and read serial data?

I am having problems either writing data to a binary file or reading from the file. Through the process of elimination I am posting the code where the data is written to file to see if I can eliminate that as an option. I know the data is being processed correctly because, through the use of another function, I can view the data.
I also know that fwrite must be including some padding because the file size ends up being 576 bytes after it is written instead of 540 bytes (the size it would be if no padding is used). Here is my struct:
Code:
typedef struct {
char teams[25];
float wins;
float losses;
float pct;
int runsScored;
int runsAgainst;
} STATISTICS;
Here is where I initialize it:
Code:
STATISTICS stats[12] = {
{"Anaheim Arrays", 0.0, 0.0, .000, 0, 0},
{"Pittsburg Pointers", 0.0, 0.0, .000, 0, 0},
{"Indianapolis Integers", 0.0, 0.0, .000, 0, 0},
[Code] ....
And here is the function that writes my data. The sA array is only used to change the scheduled games based on the variable week.
Code:
void schedule(STATISTICS stats[]) {
FILE *f;
int sA[12], week = 0, runsPerGameA = 0, runsPerGameB = 0, runsAgainstA = 0, runsAgainstB = 0;
int index, a = 0, b = 1, i = 0;
[Code] .....

I am writing a double number in Binary format to the console of program A (in FORTRAN) with the following code:
Code:
REAL*8 A
A = 12.54
INQUIRE(6, name = xstring)
OPEN(1,file=xstring, access='stream',action='write')
WRITE (1) A
CLOSE(1)
And trying to read that number by program B (in C++) which is connected to program A by anonymous pipes. Following is the reading part of program B:
Code:
#define BUF_SIZE 5000
BOOL bSuccess = FALSE;
char Buf[BUF_SIZE];
DWORD dwRead;
for (;;) {
bSuccess = ReadFile( V_hChildStd_OUT_Rd, Buf, BUF_SIZE, &dwRead, NULL);
if( ! bSuccess || dwRead == 0 ) break;
}
Note: V_hChildStd_OUT_Rd is a handle to the output of program A.
After running the program although bSuccess becomes TRUE, Buf array does not include the number (12.54) that I am expecting. If I do the same process without using the binary format it works fine and I can read the number. I know somethings wrong with the writing or reading of binary data but I do not know what it is.

How to read and write an arbitrary number of bits from/to a file stream.
For instance, how to repeatedly read 9 bits from a file, then change to 10 bits, then 11 bits, and so on?
Obviously one way is by doing a lot of bit shifting, and masking. But honestly, I'm too dumb to get it right. Then I thought about using std::bitset and std::vector<bool>.

how to use this function:
ftStatus = myFtdiDevice.Read(readData, numBytesAvailable,ref numBytesRead);
to read byte from the serial port.This function is part of the DLL that came with the chip(FT2232D) I am using on my board.I want to use the function to read a byte from the serial port and then send the value to the Graphic user interface.Unfortunately I was unable to get the expected value on my GUI.If I send for instance 40,what I get on the GUI are letters instead of the number 40 or at times the GUI will not even respond.Below are my lines of code I used to read the byte from the serial port:
The following instructions are executed whenever the CHECKBOX is checked
private
void checkBox1_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
UInt32 numBytesRead = 0;

I sent 1preample and 4bytes in transmitting side , preample contains only 1 and 0 with 4milliseconds delay, each byte contains 8bits with 2milliseconds delay , if a bit contains 1 it will send 1millisecond high and 1millisecond low signal ,and if a bit contains 0 it will send 2millisecond continuous delay, I have a problem at receiving side how to capture and store the preample and 4byte values in a buffer , i am using ARM processor it will update every 5microsecond ..

I am making a MFC application with VC++2012 with receiving data from Serial Port and the data is stored in a Listbox, then after processing (convert into numbers) and get these data to draw a sine wave on the chart. (I intend to make a virtual oscilloscope).
Everything works ok at the beginning, but after receiving about 300 items or above (in the Listbox) the value seem stucking (or lagging) and work very slowly.
I receive data by the SerialPort_DataReceived() method, and process of converting and drawing chart also in this method, I think this makes the system overload!!

How to capture incoming serial data and store it into an array for controlling functions. But I am now working with a radio module that receives incoming data and stores it into a uint_8t.
From there in the basic sketch that the radio library came with it is printed in the serial terminal like this:
uint8_t buf[RF22_MAX_MESSAGE_LEN];
uint8_t len = sizeof(buf);
if (rf22.waitAvailableTimeout(500)) {
// Should be a message for us now
if (rf22.recv(buf, &len)) {
Serial.print("got reply: ");
Serial.println((char*)buf);
I have read a lot of tutorials on pointers, and I am just having a very hard time grasping how to extract data out of one. I realize this is char and not integers. The goal is to transmit five integers in a digital state of either 1 or 0, and then store them in the receiving side and control 5 outputs based on the status of those 5 bits. This is proving to be quite confusing for me though as I cannot seem to grasp how to control the pointer logic.

I want to send data from a laptop (windows 7, processor 2.60GHz) to a desktop (windows xp, processor 3.10GHz) using serial communication (using a USB to RS232 convertor). The WriteFile function is able to send the data from the laptop (NumberOfBytesWritten is correct). But on the desktop side, ClearCommError detects no data in the read buffer.
This is the relevant code in my desktop:
while(1) {
ClearCommError(hPort,&dwErrors,&commStatus);
if (commStatus.cbInQue != 0) ReadFile(hPort,&data,1,&dwBytesRead,NULL);
Sleep(10);
}
The if condition is never satisfied. The baudrate and other parameters in the DCB struct are the same on both sides.
The same code works when I write and read in the same system by shorting the RX and TX pins in the RS232 connector.

I'm writing a program using Huffman algorithm to compress text file. I have tested my program by just printing the printing ASCII character to file and it worked fine. However, now I have to implement using bits and my program doesn't work. It seems like I'm not reading or writing the right bits. Here is the result of my testing:In the input file I put abc the input file to compress it. Then I uncompress it the out out is aaa. Below is a snippet of how I read and write bits
Code:
class BitInput {
istream& in; // the istream to delegate to
char buf; // the buffer of bits
int nbits; public:
BitInputStream(istream& s) : in(s), buf(0), bufi(8) { }

I have to write a program that sorts names and grades from a file and output them to another.
For example:
Name: Peter Parker
Exam 1: 95
Exam 2: 90.625
Exam 3: 91.20
Name: Mary Smith
Exam 1: 65
Exam 2: 79.1234
Exam 3: 70.24
Becomes something like this in the output file:
Name: Parker, Peter
Average Score: 92.28
Grade: A
Name: Smith, Mary
Average Score: 71.45
Grade: C
I know I'm supposed to read the whole file, but I'm getting really confused on how to take the name of each student separately without recording Exam 1, 2, and 3. I'll be able to do the average score and grade on my own.

Is there a way to read and write to the same file?
I'm writing a game program and I want to save the score at the end of the game to a txt file. The txt file already contains other game scores. How do I store the score without overwriting the previous scores.
I'm just using basic fstream.

I have to make a program that asks for your username (any)to register it. When you type it it will say something. I want to create a txt file also. so this is what I have:
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
int a;
{
ofstream myfile;
[Code] ....
now, how can I use the cout again to print something "Welcome to the program..."?

I'm messing around with reading and writing files. The first file creates a small txt file. Simple enough
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main(){
string name;
string desc;
[Code] ....
It does what it should. It creates a text file "items.txt" .... It reads as such:
dagger,a dagger,15,10,0,1,3,1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,1
The second file is meant to read the file and place the data back into the variables. This happens, but the data crams itself into the first variable, and the rest of them collect the trash that's in memory.
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main() {
string name,desc;
[Code ....
I need to get "dagger" into name, "a dagger" into description, and each value with their perspective variable. I'm sure I need some type of "separator". Hopefully I can use the comma. Before it's over, I will have about a hundred items that will need to be read into a class of items.

I have a file of data where each line consists of 4 parameters (degree, alpha, beta and x) and a value corresponding to these, organized in increasing order of the parameters. Here's the test file I'm using:
0 1 1 0.5 3.5
1 1 1 -0.5 -0.5
1 2 0 0.2 4.5
1 3 0 0.2 -4.5
2 0 0 1.5 2.1
2 1 0 0 5.6
My code is supposed to look for a certain set of parameters (currently set to 1 2 1 1.5, which is not contained in the file) and its value. If it's there (i.e. the file contains the value for the right parameters) the program is done. If not it should calculate the value using a function JacobiPoly() and insert the wanted parameters and corresponding value in the appropriate place in the file.
I have a code in which I think everything works except the writing to file. I use an fstream so I can both read and write and open it with ios::out||ios::in. I'm also aware I need something similar to fseek in between input and output but according to [URL] .... reading and writing to the same file using the same fstream, seekp() should suffice. I'm using seekp(), but the output (in the form inout << (...)) doesn't work.
Here's the code:
fstream inout;
inout.open("inouttest.dat", ios::out | ios::in);
int degree=1, readDeg;
double alpha=2, beta=1, x=1.5, value, readAlpha, readBeta, readX, readVal;
bool foundVal=false;
streampos beforeRead=(streampos)0;

How to write the code for this with the following requirements:
download the text file weblog.txt
This file is an Apache web log taken from the web server for St. Mary's University. When a visitor goes to their web site, the visitor's browser makes a request to the web server to view a web page, which is a file residing on the server. Each time a page is requested by a browser, the web server records information about that request. This weblog.txt holds the details of some of those requests.
Create a non-member function to read each line of the web log file. This function must do error checking to ensure that the file is opened successfully, otherwise it must provide a message like "file not available" to the user.
Each line should then be stored in a vector such that the first element of the vector is the first line of the web log file. Because each element will hold an entire line from the file, the vector should be declared as a vector of strings.
Note: You must declare the vector in a function.
Create another non-member function to sort the contents of the vector. Make sure to pass the vector by reference or your sort will disappear when the function ends! Use the sort function with #include <algorithm> to do the sort; you do not have to write your own sort algorithm.
Create one more non-member function to write the contents of the vector to a file. Each element should be on its own line in the new file. The contents of the new file should look like the original input file once your program completes, but in sorted order.
Create a main function that calls all of your non-member functions.
