serial Communication using Threading

@jsulm When using ready read() signal..it throws the error like this:

Port opened
50.66 20.77 17.89
-4.21704e+37 9.11138e-41 1.95399e-13
-4.21704e+37 9.11138e-41 1.56319e-13
50.66 20.77 17.89
-4.21704e+37 -1.99953e+18 3.76588e-13

That's Why i choose timer for receiving data

Already said that corrections are welcomed.. thank you

Corrections? Do you expect somebody to write correct code for you?
You got the suggestion to use readyRead(), accumulate the data and parse it according to the protocol - did you do that? You do not even answer questions...

[Vijaykarthikeyan]

@jsulm on using readyRead() it throws the garbage values in the middle of incoming serial port values,,that's what im mentioning in every thread.

I didn't tell anyone to write the code for me.. and why I should? I have implemented the method without seeing into any examples and it worked for me? My Question is now gone nowhere. The topic is changed? The actual defintion of correction is not writing the code behalf of me.

It was already asked before: show your current implementation. How else should anybody know why it does not work? We do not know whether you're accumulating the data correctly and we do not know whether you're parsing accumulated data correctly.

@jsulm @Vijaykarthikeyan and wether you're printing it correctly, simply dumping it into qDebug() will probably lead to "chunk" data interpretation.

also

memcpy(&receivedStruct, receivedData2+receivedData.constData(), sizeof(MyStruct));

I somehow doubt you're familiar with packing rules and restrictions. I would suggest ditching C and giving your Struct an constructor overload that accepts a QByteArray or a QDataStream implementation or simply overload <<

[Vijaykarthikeyan]

@J-Hilk Thank you,Sir you are correct. it has to be correctly packed to avoid those conditions. I Pre-determinely know the Struct size.And that helped me to pack the struct from extracting the stream input based on the size.

I think the problem here is that it can happen that you will not receive the whole struct at once. That's why it was suggested to accumulate received data until you have enough data to extract the whole struct.

[Vijaykarthikeyan]

@jsulm ok..I understand. I'll try. If any issue occurs..I'll post that error. Thank you
