EthercatDevice_DmpHID.uartRead()

[EthercatDevice_DmpHID_Generic]

Description

Read one byte data from the specified UART port of the EtherCAT slave device.

Derived Class:

Syntax

int uartRead(int dev);

Parameters

• [in] int dev
  The specified UART port of the EtherCAT slave device.
  • 0 for COM1.
  • 1 for COM2.

Return Value

Return one byte data. If the return value is smaller than 0, it means an error code.

Comment

This function must be called after a successful execution of EthercatMaster::begin(). This function is non-blocking and can be called within the Cyclic Callback.

Example

#include "Ethercat.h"

EthercatMaster master;
EthercatDevice_QECR11HU9S slave;

void CyclicCallback() {
  slave.update();
}

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);

  master.begin();
  slave.attach(0, master);
  master.attachCyclicCallback(CyclicCallback);
  master.start();
}

void loop() {
  int ch = slave.uartRead(0);
  if (ch >= 0)
    Serial.print((char)ch);

  // ...
}
