Great! SoftwareSerial library work like a charm, adopted! Do you plane to support find and readBytesUntil functions ?

Hum, output seems dirty. I introduce a buffer (buf) to avoid Serial overhead.

Code: Select all

#include "SoftwareSerial.h"

SoftwareSerial swserial(11, 12);      // duplex mode on pins 11 and 12
char buf[512];
int i=0;

void setup() {
    swserial.begin(1200);
    Serial.begin(9600); 
}

void loop() {
    while(swserial.available()){
        buf[i]= swserial.read() & 0x7F;
        i++;
        if(i==511){
          Serial.println(buf);
          i=0; 
        }
    }
    
    delay(1000);
}

May be this is because you read 7n1 with 8n1?

You can't read 7n1 with this, cause it has different timing. Stop bit will be "too early". I can give an idea how to modify the code of library for your purposes. How many bytes do you have in one portion of data? At this moment library uses 32 bytes for cyclic buffer.

Here is a modified version of Library. Place it to libraries folder an use like this:

Code: Select all

#include <SoftwareSerial7N1.h>
SoftwareSerial7N1 swserial(11, 12);
// ...

Interesting, it gives an idea on how to modify SoftwareSerial library to support more coding method.

I think I'm wrong with 7n1. According following documentation extract, I'm based on 7e1 (7 data bits, 1 parity bit and 1 stop bit).

As far as I understand, the SoftwareSerial library works twice speed as baud speed. It detects 0L and counts 8 bits. How is done synchronization ? How to be sure that 0L is a start bit and not a data bit ?

Start bit is always 0, stop bit is always 1. So, the first 0 is the start of transition. It's a main rule of UART protocol. So we have to work twice faster to follow the theorem of discretization. Looks like you could use the simple 8N1 UART. I don't understand why it's not work for you. Could you connect a logic analyzer to your device? Something like saleae or it's clone. At least you could use Arduino as logic analyzer for your case. The baudrate is not fast. See this https://hackaday.io/project/1633-arduin ... c-analyzer
