I have used your script to build my program and it have worked very good so far, but now I need to extend the number of variables that I'm receiving. I need to send more than 40 unsigned long int (they come from hex color) but after 11 unsigned long I start getting errors and 4 ou 5 commas after I don't receive anything. I seems to happened after 100 chars received. I'm on Mega.
Any idea of the problem ?
Code of the transmitter:
unsigned long var[55] = {
L1L, L1R,
L2L, L2R,
L3L, L3R,
L4L, L4R,
L5L, L5R,
L6L, L6R,
L7L, L7R,
L8L, L8R,
L9L, L9R,
L10L, L10R,
BGL1L, BGL1R,
BGL2L, BGL2R,
BGL3L, BGL3R,
BGL4L, BGL4R,
BGL5L, BGL5R,
BGL6L, BGL6R,
BGL7L, BGL7R,
BGL8L, BGL8R,
BGL9L, BGL9R,
BGL10L, BGL10R,
Mode, Pwr,
Rot, RotO,
RotT, Rdm,
RdmT,Mood,
MoodT, MoodS,
IndexColorS
};
Serial.println("Sending values to arduino");
Serial1.print("<");
for(int i = 0; i < 51; i++){
Serial1.print(var[i]);
Serial1.print(",");
Serial.println(var[i]);
}
Serial1.print(">");
Serial.println("Data sent");
Code of the receiver:
void recvWithStartEndMarkers() {
static boolean recvInProgress = false;
static byte ndx = 0;
char startMarker = '<';
char endMarker = '>';
char rc;
while (Serial1.available() > 0 && newData == false) {
rc = Serial1.read();
if (recvInProgress == true) {
if (rc != endMarker) {
receivedChars[ndx] = rc;
ndx++;
if (ndx >= numChars) {
ndx = numChars - 1;
}
}
else {
receivedChars[ndx] = '\0'; // terminate the string
recvInProgress = false;
ndx = 0;
newData = true;
}
}
else if (rc == startMarker) {
recvInProgress = true;
}
}
}
void parseData() {
if (newData == true) {
// split the data into its parts
char * strtokIndx; // this is used by strtok() as an index
strtokIndx = strtok(receivedChars,","); // get the first part - the string
var[0] = atoi(strtokIndx); // copy it to messageFromPC
for(int i = 1; i<51; i++) {
strtokIndx = strtok(NULL, ","); // this continues where the previous call left off
var[i] = atoi(strtokIndx); // convert this part to an integer
}
for(int i = 0; i<51; i++) {
Serial.println(var[i]);
EEPROM.write(i, var[i]);
