      IIRC there's been some work on the QSerialPort module recently, can you test the 5.2 version to see whether it's still happening ?

          2 fred_douille,

          first, you can check it on the "standard" Terminal example from the QtSerialPort, because maybe you do something wrong.

            In fact I used the terminal example from QtSerialPort. It is a very good help to explain how to use the library. But with it I had the problem, so I simplify the code to find where is the problem but in vain. I will try again with Qextserialport to be sure and maybe I should use an other arduino board. And I hope Qt 5.2 solved the problem

              Hi,

              I just tried with Qt 5.2 RC and the problem is still there.
              Now I'm trying again with QextSerialPort

                So, with QextSerialPort, no problem.
                With QSerialPort I solved half the problem, if I open the port before setup the ui there is not data sent. But when I close my app, datas are sent.
                It's look like there is a problem in the management of the port.
                Maybe I have to put a specific flag when I open the port but I don't know wihch one.

                Edit: In fact if no data are sent when I open the port with QSerialPort it's because I used QextSerialPort before.
                It's look like the buffer is not empty, QextSerialPort empty it when opening and QserialPort isn't.

                I think the difference is that QextSerialPort is not asynchronous while QSerialPort is.
                And it's for that I can't use readyread signal with QextSerialPort.
                I don't know what to do

                  In this case you can use QSerialPort::clear() method after opening.

                  BTW: Also your provided code do a multiple signal/slot connections after multiple clicks to the "open" button. It can lead to some problems for you.

                    I just tried QSerialPort::clear() but with no effect, very strange..

                    @serial->clear(QSerialPort::AllDirections);@

                    And now I changed my code, I open the port at the program launch without button, and close and reopen the program each time

                      You do clear() after opening? Please check a clear() return value.

                      Need to do like:

                      [code]
                      ...
                      bool ret = port->open();
                      if (ret)
                      ret = port->clear();
                      if (ret) {
                      // do something
                      }
                      [/code]

                        I tried this:
                        @
                        if( serial->open(QIODevice::ReadWrite) )
                        {
                        if (serial->clear(QSerialPort::AllDirections))
                        {
                        QMessageBox::information(this,"test","cleared");
                        }
                        }
                        @

                        I have my QMessageBox saying "cleared" but still datas sent.

                          I tried to open the port in ReadOnly mode and datas are still sent.
                          It's so strange...

                          With QextSerialPort I can't use ReadyRead signal, so I'm stuck.

                          SOLVED!
                          It was ridiculous. It's look like there is a problem in QSerialPort for baudrate at 115200.
                          I adapted my code and my arduino to run at 9600 and it's fine.
