qextserial port in qt5.7.0

[J.Hilk]

@vivekyuvan have you taken a look at the docu yet?
http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qserialport.html

the
QSerialport modul has all the functions you mention in the post

and the constuctor also excepts a string to the device

seems like you won't have to change much?

Hi@SGaist I have a problem while installing the qtserial port library here i pasted the error message

Hi @vivekyuvan,

why do you need to build QtSerialPort yourself? It is already included in Qt since 5.1.

How did you install Qt 5.7? With the package manager or with the online installer?

BTW: You should better use Qt 5.9 LTS or 5.11 for new development.

Regards

[vivekyuvan]

hi@aha_1980 Yes indeed qtserial is already exists in qt5

But here I face an issue while calling the QSerial Header files with QT Creator Editor . My QT creator Doesn't includes the QSerial Header files

so that's why I did install qtserial port library manually. but now i got the header files in qt creator Editor with installing this command in terminal
$ sudo apt-get install libqt5serialport5-dev

is that ok correct me if i am wrong

Thanks & Regards
vivekyuvan

@vivekyuvan

$ sudo apt-get install libqt5serialport5-dev

that looks good, and should work.

Afterwards, you need to add QT += serialport in your .pro file, as stated in the documentation

@aha_1980 Thanks Now i am going to build my application hope it will build successfully.

[vivekyuvan]

@aha_1980 My code build and compiled successfully but my com port /dev/ttyUSB0 open was unsuccessful

Here is code snippet

void MainWindow::SerialPortInit()
{


    DataAcquisitionPort = new QserialPort();
    DataAcquisitionPort->setPortName("/dev/ttyUSB0");
    DataAcquisitionPort->setBaudRate(QSerialPort::Baud115200);
    DataAcquisitionPort->setFlowControl(QSerialPort::NoFlowControl);                                     
    DataAcquisitionPort->setDataBits(QSerialPort::Data8);
    DataAcquisitionPort->setParity(QSerialPort::NoParity);
    DataAcquisitionPort->setStopBits(QSerialPort::OneStop);
    qDebug() << "PORT Initialize completed";
bool res = false;
    res = DataAcquisitionPort->open(QIODevice::ReadWrite | QIODevice::Unbuffered | QIODevice::Append | QIODevice::Text);  
    connect(DataAcquisitionPort, SIGNAL(readyRead()), this, SLOT(Get_Data_from_Serial_port()));         
    if(res)
   {
        qDebug() << "TRYING TO OPEN PORT"
    }
    else
    {
       qDebug("PROTOCOL PORT OPEN FAILED");
    }
}

this code cant open my port it always "protocol port open failed "

Help me out to resolve this issue

Thanks

@vivekyuvan said in qextserial port in qt5.7.0:

Hi, your code looks good so far, however this line:

bool res = false;
res = DataAcquisitionPort->open(QIODevice::ReadWrite | QIODevice::Unbuffered | QIODevice::Append | QIODevice::Text);

should be simplified to: bool res = DataAcquisitionPort->open(QIODevice::ReadWrite);

I think open fails because you don't have the needed access rights.

Please send the output of ls -l /dev/ttyUSB0 to verify.

Usually the solution is to add your username to the group dialout

Regards.

PS: It does not hurt to write "Please help me to solve this issue" ;)

[vivekyuvan]

@aha_1980 I have changed the line as like your simplified line. and again i got same error

vivek@vivek-Veriton-Series:~$ ls -l /dev/ttyUSB0
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 188, 0 Jul 28 13:25 /dev/ttyUSB0

I have verified ttyUSB0 in terminal its looking fine

and i didn't understand the line " Usually the solution is to add your username to the group dialout

"

can you please show me how to add username to group dialout ?

[aha_1980]

@vivekyuvan

Usually the solution is to add your username to the group dialout

In the terminal, input the following command:

sudo adduser vivek dialout

After that log out and in again or reboot the computer. Then it should work.

hi@aha_1980 thanks for reply. I have an another issue in my code that is " I can't get UART RAW data continuously " My code compiled successfully and when I run application it throws an error

ASSERT: "uint(i) < uint(size())" in file /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/QtCore/qbytearray.h, line 464
The program has unexpectedly finished.

Serial port Initialize function

void MainWindow::SerialPortInit()
{ 
    DataAcquisitionPort = new QSerialPort();
    DataAcquisitionPort->setPortName("/dev/ttyUSB0");
    DataAcquisitionPort->setBaudRate(QSerialPort::Baud115200);
    DataAcquisitionPort->setFlowControl(QSerialPort::NoFlowControl);                                     // To set the flow control to none
    DataAcquisitionPort->setDataBits(QSerialPort::Data8);
    DataAcquisitionPort->setParity(QSerialPort::NoParity);
    DataAcquisitionPort->setStopBits(QSerialPort::OneStop);

    connect(DataAcquisitionPort, SIGNAL(readyRead()), this, SLOT(Get_Data_from_Serial_port()));         
    if(res)
    {
        qDebug() << "TRYING TO OPEN PORT";
        const char data[] = "PROTOCOL PORT OPEN SUCCESS";
        qDebug() << data;
        DataAcquisitionPort->write(data, sizeof(data));

        const char Protocol_init_data_6[] = { 0x00 };
        DataAcquisitionPort->write(Protocol_init_data_1, sizeof(Protocol_init_data_1));
       // Sleeper::msleep(100);
        QThread::msleep(100);
        DataAcquisitionPort->write(Protocol_init_data_2, sizeof(Protocol_init_data_2));
       // Sleeper::msleep(100);
        QThread::msleep(100);
        DataAcquisitionPort->write(Protocol_init_data_3, sizeof(Protocol_init_data_3));

        //Sleeper::msleep(100);
        QThread::msleep(100);
        DataAcquisitionPort->write(Protocol_init_data_5, sizeof(Protocol_init_data_5));
        //Sleeper::msleep(100);
        QThread::msleep(100);
        DataAcquisitionPort->write(Protocol_init_data_6, sizeof(Protocol_init_data_6));
        qDebug() << "PROTOCOL OPEN SUCCESS";
    }
    else
    {
       qDebug("PROTOCOL PORT OPEN FAILED");
    }
}

this function for protocol raw data frame

void MainWindow::Get_Data_from_Serial_port()
{
    QByteArray Protocol_Raw_Data;
    Protocol_Raw_Data = DataAcquisitionPort->readAll().toHex(); // Get the data and convert it to Hex fornat
        qDebug() << Protocol_Raw_Data;
    if((Protocol_Raw_Data.startsWith("02")) && (Protocol_Raw_Data.endsWith("03")))  // To check for the Complete Frame
    {
        P1.append(Protocol_Raw_Data);
        Protocol_Data_Organize(P1);
        P1.clear();
    }
    else
    {
        P1.append(Protocol_Raw_Data);                       // If the frame is not completed, then append the data to Pi array
    }
}

And this function for split the raw data and separate the into single frame

void MainWindow::Protocol_Data_Organize(QByteArray Data)
{
    QList <QByteArray> Data_Frame;
    for(int pos = 0; pos < Data.size(); pos++)
    {
        if( (Data.at(pos-1) == '0' && Data.at(pos) == '3' && Data.at(pos+1) == '0' && Data.at(pos+2) == '2') || ((Data.at(pos) == '3') && pos == (Data.size()-1)) )
        {
            Data.insert((pos+1), ';');          // Inserting a Splitter between the individual data frames
        }
    }
    Data_Frame << Data.split(';');              // Splits the Whole data frame into separate individual data frame and stores it in the List
    Protocol_Data_split(Data_Frame);
}

In my previous version QT4.8.7 with qextserial library my application runs without issue but here i am facing this issue "The program has unexpectedly finished." and i cant get continuous UART Data . I don know what am missing please help me to resolve this issue

Thanks and Regard

Hi @vivekyuvan said in qextserial port in qt5.7.0:

"The program has unexpectedly finished."

A typical case for using the debugger. Start a debugging session, on the crash you get a stack trace. Then inspect the different functions in the stack trace until you find the guilty one.

if( (Data.at(pos-1) == '0'

This already looks like a candidate when pos == 0.

[aha_1980]

Another thing I noticed: You are using signals&slots together with sleeping functions.

That is wrong - stop doing it, you putting yourself into trouble.
