Yes both of you are right .. above image shows my output ,
if i clicked the send button first time ,
"" is printed like this
while clicked second time
line 5 is printed
while third time same is printed

i Dont know why its came like this

You still have not shown code which checks the result from serial->open(QIODevice::ReadWrite);.

YEs i have shown in above reply

@Yunus Sure thanks a lot i will refer

@sankarapandiyan
You cannot expect people to help if you show output which simply does not correspond to anywhere in the code you have shown, can you? For example, you have a screenshot showing output where the code you have shown simply does not include any such output lines....

@JonB ok fine.. thanks

hi, the 2nd line in his on_send_clicked method doas qDebbug() << "serial opened-"

@sankarapandiyan you should put it in a if statement to call qDebug only if open() returns true

if(serial->open(QIODevice::ReadWrite))

You are right. I searched the whole page for serial opened (or even seral opened), I have only just seen it is in a screenshot. However, I still do not see where the baToSend used there is declared or set, I only see it elsewhere (local variable inside on_send_clicked()). Nor do I know what it is the text file read in. So it's still pretty hard to know what is going on....

@JonB In text file i have 5 lines ,

line 1
line 2
line 3
line 4
line 5

i want to print these five line in arduino serial monitor , While i clicking send button

But i did not get the data received in arduino side

sankarapandiyan

@LeLev ok fine i will correct it

sankarapandiyan

@JonB @LeLev @mrjj cant open port : QSerialPort::SerialPortError(PermissionError)
I get the error like this ..

Thanks

@sankarapandiyan said in How to send the Data from Qt App to Arduino by serial communication:

PermissionError

Make sure your user has needed access rights for the serial port device file.
See for example https://askubuntu.com/questions/58119/changing-permissions-on-serial-port

@jsulm Is it possible to open the port in both Qt app and Arduino in a same OS ..
Here if i open the port in Qt means , in Arduino ,i got a error the port is changed or not found

while if i open the port in Arduino first means , I got a error message in Qt as (PERMISSION ERROR)

I am Stucked here for a day, I am very new to this arduino topic , So give me some idea abouth this .

Thanks in advance .

Not sure what you mean? If both devices run same OS then yes.

"i got a error the port is changed or not found" - then make sure you're using correct port!

"I got a error message in Qt as (PERMISSION ERROR)" - then make sure your user has access right like I suggested above.

If you have 2 apps on the same computer that want to use the same serial port, then only one of the programs can use the serial port at a time.

When App 1 opens a serial port, App 2 cannot use the same serial port. App 2 must wait until App 1 closes the port.

@JKSH Yes You are right .. thanks for your reply
