Qt Serial port Not Receive data until send data to mc.

Marco Flad

i used the blockingslave Example to Ensure the Micro Controller send data and received it correct without any missing in data i mean " if any input pin on micro controller status changes from low to high and vs versa send data over serial port to QT"
my problem the readyrad() signal doesn't emitted until i send any data to micro controller from qt and by the way i send data to micro controller suspenseful without no error or missing.

Are you sure that you use Qt 5.14.0? Maybe you use Qt 5.13.1? Please check it again and again.

PS: As I see that you use Qt 5.13.1 && MinGW, according to your another post (with mutex).

Christian Ehrlicher

What Qt version do you use? There were some problems with 5.12.x (@aha_1980: you know better) with the readyRead() signal.

iam using Qt 5.14.0 (MSVC 2017, 32 bit)
thanks for replay

Hi,

@Marco-Flad said in Qt Serial port Not Receve data until send data to mc.:

// open and configure the serialport
mc->setPortName(mc_port_name); //QString("COM8")
mc->open(QIODevice::ReadWrite);
mc->setBaudRate(QSerialPort::Baud9600);
mc->setDataBits(QSerialPort::Data8);
mc->setParity(QSerialPort::NoParity);
mc->setStopBits(QSerialPort::OneStop);
mc->setFlowControl(QSerialPort::NoFlowControl);

Two things:

Do the complete setup before calling open
Check the return value of open, it might have failed and you don't check that case.

Marco Flad

@SGaist
i move open to down and checked if is isOpen() .
Everything that can return Boolean returns a true state and without errors.
the strange problem is
if i send any number of messages from micro controller this messages stored in buffer and not appear until readyread() is emitted
and readyread() not emitted until i send data to the micro controller i.e when i call arduino->write (" ");
the hilighted is one message the three messages is sent from micro controller in different times but appears in debugger when i send data to micro controller .

Hi @Marco-Flad,

my problem the readyrad() signal doesn't emitted until i send any data to micro controller

May it be that your microcontroller is exactly programmed like that? It does not seem unusual to me.

Anyway, you should first try the communication with a terminal program to ensure everything is working correctly before programming yourself.

Afterwards, you should try and study the Terminal example, you can get it from the examples section in Qt Creator.

And then you can come back to your own code.

Hi ,
iam sorry but i try Terminal program isn't work but PuTTY work well and blockingslave serial example work very well also in send and recive so i think the only way to use thriding like blocking slave example .

@kuzulis
hi ,
ya you are right iam using C:\Qt\5.13.1 i notice it after locking in setting
but in (Help about Qt creator ) Based on 5.14.0 and
alt text
and in Manage kit only 5.13.1 so ho to update version

thank you ,

Hi @Marco-Flad,

your Qt Creator is build with Qt 5.14, but your kit is using Qt 5.13 - that explains your problems.

You can update your installation with the MaintenanceTool in c:\Qt. I'd recommend to uninstall Qt 5.13.1 so you do not accidently use it again.

Regards

Marco Flad

@aha_1980 thanks Very match its all about version
@kuzulis thanks for your support
my pleasures.
