@CristianoNarcisiVidex said in Run test as superuser inside QtCreator: because of my OS is Ubuntu, i need the super user permission for opening that port That's wrong. You simply have to add your user to the group which has access to the device file of your serial port. See https://askubuntu.com/questions/58119/changing-permissions-on-serial-port "The issue with the permissions for /dev/ttyACM0 can be permanantly solved by adding yourself to the dialout group. You can do this with: sudo usermod -a -G dialout $USER Logout and then log back in for the group changes to take effect. "

Hi, What kind of popup are triggering the freeze ?

@ADR_PT you may want to start using QSerialPort the asynchronous (non-blocking) approach, by using signals & slots. Take a look at the serial terminal example

@suslucoder said in Open the selected port: I solved it, you can delete my post. No, the solved posts don't get deleted. They remain for the benefit of other forum users having same/similar issues. It's a community driven approach, opposite to a "my problem only" driven approach

@suslucoder ok im not sure what s does. Anyway, could you try (in on_Serial_Read) memset(dizi, 0, 14); memcpy(dizi, data.constData(), data.size()); in place ot the line memcpy(dizi, data.constData(), 14); and tell if it still stops at 15 ?

And that binary contains just that ?

@suslucoder I don't see why it would not be possible to select other entries in a combo box. Do you do anything else with ui->ports?

@SGaist Thank you very much, that saved me a lot of disk space!

@IRBaboon If your PC have no obvious lagging, my issue is an error direction. Here are some ideas you can try: read help doc seriously or test one other poeple's credible demo on your devie, is it possible to call it incorrectly?(for serial device, It is difficult for others to run your demo) try the lastest verion of QT

@Alphy said in same serial in multiple threads giving error: it is working fine. So please don't forget to mark your post as solved!

@RunThiner There's no need for such a loop. QSerialPort already provides an asynchronous API and if you really want to wait for data to be available, there's a blocking API for that as shown in the QSerialPort details.

@vishbynature It's config.log file located in the same directory from which you called configure. It is a text file, nothing special. Look for compile errors in that file related to to what you need.

@J.Hilk Thank You it did work. You saved me.

@donquixote said in Serial port data loss: I used it because i thought maybe the problem is that new incoming data is interrupting the function before the previous one has not finished yet. The problem was still in there before that. Slots are not interrupted. They are called one by one from the event loop in the background. Think of your slots are like a subroutine that is called from main if there is work to do. process data and block serial signals at the time QT'll continue to buffer data at the time And I guess that will not work out. Even if it works on one platform, it may fail on another one. OK, got your idea. That should be the problem since i don't wait for readyread signal in the loop, right? Yeah, but don't wait for readyRead, leave the slot and give Qt the possibility to process the data. It will call your slot again once new data is ready. Regards

I think a tracker has been raised from long time for the same https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-51751 and this is still in unresolved state.

@maxime.armand Have you actually tried it? It does exactly what you demand in step 1. And if you look in http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtserialport-creaderasync-main-cpp.html you will see that the serial port and the baud rate are given as command line parameters. Just (cross-)compile the program for the Raspberry, and run it. It should work like your HypterTerminal test.

@Dhani - thanks from me too. This fixed the same problem I was having connecting to a virtual serial port on an NXP dev board.

Never mind, I had code in my the constructor of the to be threaded class, that caused the conflict... connect(&modbusThread, &QThread::started, modbusDevice, &Modbus::setupClass); fixed the issue.

The overlapped mode is the problem. If you only have a handle then ReadFile / WriteFile will fail if you don't include the overlapped structure in the call. It was opened with the OVERLAPPED flag so this parameter cannot be NULL. What exactly are you trying to do? Maybe there is another way.

Hi and welcome to devnet, You have several examples for the QtSerialPort module that should help you get started. Hope it helps

@Wieland Well i found my problem, I chose the wrong baudrate. Now i have to adjust my code, but i think it will work sooner or later. Thanks again!

@Wieland, this float number is represent the speed Value of DC motor in RPM, may you mean I it should be in double type or something else!!. in fact I don't know obviously whit's the type I should use this is the GUI I built link text you can see in Stack-overflow here: link text may you get what I need, I'am sory to be annoying but I spent alot of time in this problem :(

I am also trying to write a minimal qml app that uses the built in GPS to retrieve current position. I am not sure if I can use Qt positioning or if I should just parse the raw output of the GPS myself, like the OP did here, and extract the position manually. It seems very dirty to do it that way, I thought there would be a nice API in QML that I could use. Anyone can point to a simple example?

Then I'd recommend taking a look the example code and rewrite yours to match it.

@Dhinesh said: HI and welcome The signal readyRead (serialReceived) is sent when QSerialPort reads some data. Try to not call serial->write("1",1); in your serialReceived as it might make controller send more data and it might never get out of there. (end less loop) as its called pretty fast. Else they code seems fine. Maybe say QByteArray data.append( serial->readAll()); (and move QByteArray data to MainWindow.h) and then when data.size() == 8 then DOSTUFF data.clear();

@Rondog @kuzulis I'm going to give the bytesWritten()signal a try, I will let you know how it worked out. I don't have a separate thread set up, but it's definitely worth the try! Big thanks for the reply's!

Hi and welcome to devnet, Why the double conversion to stdString and c_str ? You can use something like toLatin1 if you want a QByteArray to write to your serial port.

Use QtSerialPort instead (branch qt4-dev): http://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtserialport.git/?h=qt4-dev Wiki: https://wiki.qt.io/Qt_Serial_Port PS: Also you can install QtSerialPort from the Fedora's repo

Thanks for your reply... I agree that may be my code is not the best practice, as i learn Qt by myself only with doc and tutorials... but the program was working perfectly when i delivered it to the researchers... In fact, is working perfectly if i compile it on windows... few hour ago i borrowed a windows machine, installed qt, compiled the same project and worked just fine... So i doubt is really a code problem, because it should appear in both Windows and Linux, as the code is exactly the same... I'm starting to think that is a linux driver problem, so i will try in another linux when i get the chance... If someone has ubuntu 15.04 and is kind enough to reproduce this problem and tell me i would be very happy! If anybody else reproduce this problem in other linux machine i will start a bug report

@kuzulis I used putty just to send data to my app. As you suggest, putty doesn´t detect parity errors.

This might be the culprit: while (serial->waitForReadyRead(200)) This will put your thread to sleep until data has arrived or 200 ms has elapsed. QSerialPort seems to rely on the message loop to handle data so this might interfere with it (?). There is no guarantee that you will have 512 bytes of data back at once either. There is a signal (QSerialPort::readyRead() ) you can use when received data arrives. Connect this to a suitable slot and buffer what has arrived each time the signal is fired (I assume you will not get all the data at once). Do this until you have 512 bytes then process it. Keep the event loop active if you have some other 'heavy' function somewhere (QApplication::processEvents() ).

I am sorry about my last post. I made a stupid error. I updatet to QT5.5, but I haven't reconfigurated the project, so I was still using QT5.4. Now I tried also the Chipi-X10 USB-RS converters. I have to say, they work a lot better. I have now for all three ports, this converter. With the others, a lot of times I had to unplug and replug the connectors to get dem work. So there is something strange. The Chipi worked really good until now, thank you jeroen3, this will save a lot of time. After building the programm with QT5.5, the programm also work a lot better. I saw that the qcustemplot keeps plotting while I drag and drop the window. I have sometimes errors but now only sporadic. For example when I resize the window very fast, I can provoke it. But in general the errorrate is about one or two percent, and with that I can live. PS: We here do not play in telepathists and predictors. If you want to get help, you should provide the minimal and simple example.... My problem was, that with the minimal simple example all seems to working. This communication problem I had only, wenn all the data was coming and when I was plotting someting in the same time. And I checked my code a lot of times. The problem is, my knowhow about QT and generell about programming with PCs is not very big. So I think there is something I do not know. So when I check my code a hundet times more, I will not find an error. I made also an easy experiment to isolate the error: My I slowed up the replot, so that I plot only every tenth time, but ten points at the same time. Like this I can see, that this error, comes only when the window is plotting. The error comes more, the more points he has to plot on the screen. So if I make fullscreen, and I set up the scale so that I have the maximum of points in the axis, the error comes every time again. So QT has an influence to this problem. I think there is an overflow in some buffer, beause the program is to slow to read it or that he overwrites any part for some other reasons. But anyway.. For me I will pay attention now to not overcharge my comuter :) Thank you for all help!

I used Qextserialport from git clone https://code.google.com/p/qextserialport/ and the problem is solved to a great extent. With Qextserialport, around 4% of the bytes get dropped at 115200 baud. On decreasing the speed to 9600, data reception is much better. Only issue is that of the initial 160-190 bytes that are received, some bytes are missing. After the initial 190 bytes, there is no loss at all. Since the loss seems to be predictable, I plan to append some known value 200 times ahead of the actual data and send the whole sequence. The known value will be neglected at the receiver end in software.

You're welcome ! Since you have it working now, please update the thread title prepending [solved] so other forums users may know a solution has been found :)

Workaround: Start an application (QProcess) that pipes the serialport to a localhost socket.
