String Serial_Input must contain a serial number card RFID (MIFARE) like this A45F45A7 (8 byte). sometimes when I approach the card to the RFID reader of arduino the string is like this A45F45 (truncated) , miss any char. there is a solution better that while loop ? (more elegant and efficient) Using Arduino IDE Serial Monitor the card's serial number is correct.
public static void connectionToCom(SerialPort serialPort, ComboBox<String> cbxComPort, TextArea txaMessages) throws SerialPortException
{
int baudrate = 9600; int databits = 8; int stopbits = 1; int parity = 0;
serialPort.openPort() ;
serialPort.setParams(baudrate, databits, stopbits, parity) ;
String Serial_Input = null;
try {
while (true)
{
if (serialPort.readString() != null)
{
Serial_Input = serialPort.readString(8);
System.out.println("Card Serial: " + Serial_Input + "\n");
//serialPort.closePort();
}
}
}
catch (SerialPortException ex){
txaMessages.appendText(ex.toString());
}
}
You could use the method addEventListener(SerialPortEventListener listener, int mask). It call a callback method whenever you receive a byte via serialPort.
The problem with the incomplete string could be 2 problems
The code is executing before the whole string is received. To solve this, you must add a code to verify the length of string you are receiving.
You are using readString twice. You may lost some bytes of the string in first usage.
