I try to merge the fragments of a packet I receive by my Xbee (802.15.4) in API mode througth my RS-232 serial port. I get my fragment with the readBytes method from the jssc library for java.
Here is my reception code
private static class PortReader implements SerialPortEventListener {
@Override
public void serialEvent(SerialPortEvent event) {
if(event.isRXCHAR() && event.getEventValue() > 0) {
try {
byte[] receivedData = serialPort.readBytes(event.getEventValue());
if(Utils.isConfirmPacket(Utils.toHex(receivedData))){
System.out.println("XBee confim that msg is sent!");
}else{
System.out.println("Received response from port: " + Utils.toHex(receivedData));
int dataLength = Utils.toHex(receivedData).length();
receiveFile("testRx", receivedData, dataLength);
}
}
catch (SerialPortException ex) {
System.out.println("Error in receiving response from port: " + ex);
}
}
}
My receiveFile() method need the full packet in one fragment. Here is what I get in my console:
Received response from port: 7e003c8100013200
Received response from port: 2000123200ff1200
Received response from port: 0001000500000000
Received response from port: 0000000020000000
Received response from port: 1251000012455222
Received response from port: 446174613a206365
Received response from port: 6369206573742075
Received response from port: 6e20746573743b90
Since I'm using the API mode, I have not been able to send an end delimiter to specified the end of the packet like I saw in other solutions (Read Complete Line Java Serial Port).
I was thinking of using the start delimiter of the next packet, but it didn't worked out.
I figured it out using the length of the api packet. Since the length is at the position [1] and [2] of the first array, I can use this value to keep building my packet as I receive data. When my msgLengthLeft value is at 0, I know the packet have all been received and I can return the full packet. Here is my code:
private static class PortReader implements SerialPortEventListener {
private short msgLength;
private short msgLengthLeft;
private byte[] receivedMsg = new byte[packetSize];
ByteArrayOutputStream outputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream( );
@Override
public void serialEvent(SerialPortEvent event) {
if(event.isRXCHAR() && event.getEventValue() > 0) {
try {
byte[] receivedData = serialPort.readBytes(event.getEventValue());
if(Utils.isConfirmPacket(Utils.toHex(receivedData))){
System.out.println("XBee confim that msg is sent!");
}else{
if(receivedData[0] == 0x7e){ //0x7e is the start delimiter of a frame
ByteBuffer wrapped = ByteBuffer.wrap(receivedData,1,2); // big-endian by default
msgLength = (short) (wrapped.getShort()+4); //Need to add 4 to the value becaus some field are not include in the length field of the api packet
msgLengthLeft = (short) (msgLength - receivedData.length);
outputStream.write(receivedData);
return;
}else{
msgLengthLeft = (short) (msgLengthLeft - receivedData.length);
outputStream.write(receivedData);
if(msgLengthLeft != 0){
return;
}
}
System.out.println("Received response from port: " + Utils.toHex(outputStream.toByteArray( )));
int dataLength = Utils.toHex(receivedMsg).length();
//receiveFile("testRx", receivedData, dataLength);
}
}
catch (SerialPortException | IOException ex) {
System.out.println("Error in receiving response from port: " + ex);
}
}
}
}
