I lost my connection to /dev/ttyAMC0 after running a java app.
-
I've got Arduino 1.01 installed on Linux MInt 14. (I've also used Win 7, Mac OSX 10.5+, and Gentoo)
-
My boards work.
-
I also have Oracle JDK installed
cwc@dog26 ~/java $ java -version
java version "1.7.0_15"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_15-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 23.7-b01, mixed mode) -
Here are my groups
cwc@dog26 ~ $ groups
cwc adm dialout cdrom sudo dip plugdev lpadmin sambashare
Here is my tty
- cwc@dog26 ~ $ ls -l /dev/ttyACM0
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 166, 0 Mar 7 19:01 /dev/ttyACM0,
Here's what happened.
I ran some simple arduino code that collected input from A0 and I was able to get this to work.
And use the serial monitor to get output.
int lightPin = 0; //define a pin for Photo resistor
int ledPin=11; //define a pin for LED
int input = 0;
int ainput = 0;
int count = 0;
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600); //Begin serial communcation
pinMode( ledPin, OUTPUT );
}
void loop()
{
analogWrite(ledPin, analogRead(lightPin)/4); //send the value to the ledPin. Depending on value of resistor
delay(100);
count ++;
input = analogRead(lightPin);
ainput = ainput + input;
Serial.print(input);
Serial.print(' ');
Serial.println(ainput/count);
divide by 4.
// delay(1000); //short delay for faster response to light.
if (input < 300) {
// Serial.print(input);
// Serial.print(' ');
// Serial.println(count);
count ++;
}
}
Then I compiled and ran a SerialTest.java application and I lost /dev/ttyACM0 via Arduino
ANY IDEAS?
Now I must say I compiled and ran the program with out setting this line correctly fist:
private static final String PORT_NAMES[] = { "/dev/ttyACM0"};
Here's the Java I ran:
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.io.OutputStream;
import gnu.io.CommPortIdentifier;
import gnu.io.SerialPort;
import gnu.io.SerialPortEvent;
import gnu.io.SerialPortEventListener;
import java.util.Enumeration;
public class SerialTest implements SerialPortEventListener {
SerialPort serialPort;
/** The port we're normally going to use. */
private static final String PORT_NAMES[] = { "/dev/ttyACM0"};
/**
* A BufferedReader which will be fed by a InputStreamReader
* converting the bytes into characters
* making the displayed results codepage independent
*/
private BufferedReader input;
/** The output stream to the port */
private OutputStream output;
/** Milliseconds to block while waiting for port open */
private static final int TIME_OUT = 2000;
/** Default bits per second for COM port. */
private static final int DATA_RATE = 9600;
public void initialize() {
CommPortIdentifier portId = null;
Enumeration portEnum = CommPortIdentifier.getPortIdentifiers();
//First, Find an instance of serial port as set in PORT_NAMES.
while (portEnum.hasMoreElements()) {
CommPortIdentifier currPortId = (CommPortIdentifier) portEnum.nextElement();
for (String portName : PORT_NAMES) {
if (currPortId.getName().equals(portName)) {
portId = currPortId;
break;
}
}
}
if (portId == null) {
System.out.println("Could not find COM port.");
return;
}
try {
// open serial port, and use class name for the appName.
serialPort = (SerialPort) portId.open(this.getClass().getName(),
TIME_OUT);
// set port parameters
serialPort.setSerialPortParams(DATA_RATE,
SerialPort.DATABITS_8,
SerialPort.STOPBITS_1,
SerialPort.PARITY_NONE);
// open the streams
input = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(serialPort.getInputStream()));
output = serialPort.getOutputStream();
// add event listeners
serialPort.addEventListener(this);
serialPort.notifyOnDataAvailable(true);
} catch (Exception e) {
System.err.println(e.toString());
}
}
/**
* This should be called when you stop using the port.
* This will prevent port locking on platforms like Linux.
*/
public synchronized void close() {
if (serialPort != null) {
serialPort.removeEventListener();
serialPort.close();
}
}
/**
* Handle an event on the serial port. Read the data and print it.
*/
public synchronized void serialEvent(SerialPortEvent oEvent) {
if (oEvent.getEventType() == SerialPortEvent.DATA_AVAILABLE) {
try {
String inputLine=input.readLine();
System.out.println(inputLine);
} catch (Exception e) {
System.err.println(e.toString());
}
}
// Ignore all the other eventTypes, but you should consider the other ones.
}
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
SerialTest main = new SerialTest();
main.initialize();
Thread t=new Thread() {
public void run() {
//the following line will keep this app alive for 1000 seconds,
//waiting for events to occur and responding to them (printing incoming messages to console).
try {Thread.sleep(1000000);} catch (InterruptedException ie) {}
}
};
t.start();
System.out.println("Started");
}
}
