You need to get the intuitive understanding by real programming. I will give you very simple but showing the way to control each and every registers related to the serial communication interface of AVR chipset. The source code for simpletx is based on Simple Tx Arduino Play Ground and the description explanation is from me.
Then you can compile and upload the program onto Arduino chipset by running following four commands in sequence Refer to Programming in C page if you want to get further details on each of these steps.
After you uploaded the program to Arduino board, run Serial port monitor and you would get the result as shown below. NOTE : Make it sure that you set the baud rate to be ' baud' in serial port monitor because this is the rate specified in C source code.
Now let's go through the source code line by line and how they are related to the corresponding register manipulation. First you need to understand the variables linked to each of the registers. They are defined in ioxxx. That's why iomp. If you are using a different chipset, you need to open up the header file that matches the chipset you are using.
If this is set to be '1', it assumes that all the serial port configurations are already done and skips the serial port configuration process. You want to receive a message that contains more than one field.
For example, your message may contain an identifier to indicate a particular device such as a motor or other actuator and what value such as speed to set it to. Arduino does not have the split function used in the Processing code in Recipe 4. The following code receives a message with three numeric fields separated by commas. It uses the technique described in Recipe 4. This sketch accumulates values as explained in Recipe 4. A character other than a digit or comma such as the newline character; see Recipe 4.
Another approach is to use a library called TextFinder, which is available from the Arduino Playground. TextFinder was created to extract information from web streams see Chapter 15 , but it works just as well with serial data.
The following sketch uses TextFinder to provide similar functionality to the previous sketch:. Here is a summary of the methods supported by TextFinder not all are used in the preceding example :.
Reads from the stream until the given target is found. It returns true if the target string is found. A return of false means the data has not been found anywhere in the stream and that there is no more data available. Note that TextFinder takes a single pass through the stream; there is no way to go back to try to find or get something else see the findUntil method. Similar to the find method, but the search will stop if the terminate string is found.
Returns true only if the target is found. This is useful to stop a search on a keyword or terminator. Returns the first valid long integer value. Leading characters that are not digits or a minus sign are skipped.
The integer is terminated by the first nondigit character following the number. If no digits are found, the function returns 0. Same as getValue , but the given skipChar within the numeric value is ignored. This can be helpful when parsing a single numeric value that uses a comma between blocks of digits in large numbers, but bear in mind that text values formatted with commas cannot be parsed as a comma-separated string.
The float version of getValue. Strings longer than the given length are truncated to fit. The function returns the number of characters placed in the buffer 0 means no valid data was found. Chapter 15 provides more examples of TextFinder used to find and extract data from a stream. You need to send data in binary format, because you want to pass information with the fewest number of bytes or because the application you are connecting to only handles binary data.
This sketch sends a header followed by two integer bit values as binary data. The values are generated using the Arduino random function see Recipe 3. Sending binary data requires careful planning, because you will get gibberish unless the sending side and the receiving side understand and agree exactly how the data will be sent. Unlike text data, where the end of a message can be determined by the presence of the terminating carriage return or another unique character you pick , it may not be possible to tell when a binary message starts or ends by looking just at the data—data that can have any value can therefore have the value of a header or terminator character.
This can be overcome by designing your messages so that the sending and receiving sides know exactly how many bytes are expected.
The end of a message is determined by the number of bytes sent rather than detection of a specific character.
This can be implemented by sending an initial value to say how many bytes will follow. Doing either of these is not always easy, as different platforms and languages can use different sizes for the binary data types—both the number of bytes and their order may be different from Arduino. For example, Arduino defines an int as two bytes, but Processing Java defines an int as four bytes short is the Java type for a bit integer.
Sending an int value as text as seen in earlier text recipes simplifies this problem because each individual digit is sent as a sequential digit just as the number is written. The receiving side recognizes when the value has been completely received by a carriage return or other nondigit delimiter. Binary transfers can only know about the composition of a message if it is defined in advance or specified in the message.
Recipe 4. Sending single bytes is easy; use Serial. To send an integer from Arduino you need to send the low and high bytes that make up the integer see Recipe 2. You do this using the lowByte and highByte functions see Recipe 3. The preceding code sends the low byte followed by the high byte. Sending a long integer is done by breaking down the four bytes that comprise a long in two steps.
The long is first broken into two bit integers; each is then sent using the method for sending integers described earlier:. You may find it convenient to create functions to send the data. Here is a function that uses the code shown earlier to print a bit integer to the serial port:. The following function sends the value of a long 4-byte integer by first sending the two low rightmost bytes, followed by the high leftmost bytes:.
These functions to send binary int and long values have the same name : sendBinary. The compiler distinguishes them by the type of value you use for the parameter.
If your code calls printBinary with a 2-byte value, the version declared as void sendBinary int value will be called.
If the parameter is a long value, the version declared as void sendBinary long value will be called. This behavior is called function overloading. You can also send binary data using structures.
Structures are a mechanism for organizing data, and if you are not already familiar with their use you may be better off sticking with the solutions described earlier. For those who are comfortable with the concept of structure pointers, the following is a function that will send the bytes within a structure to the serial port as binary data:. Sending data as binary bytes is more efficient than sending data as text, but it will only work reliably if the sending and receiving sides agree exactly on the composition of the data.
Here is a summary of the important things to check when writing your code:. Make sure the size of the data being sent is the same on both sides. An integer is 2 bytes on Arduino, 4 bytes on most other platforms. There is no problem with receiving a 2-byte Arduino integer as a 4-byte integer in Processing as long as Processing expects to get only two bytes.
But be sure that the sending side does not use values that will overflow the type used by the receiving side. Make sure the bytes within an int or long are sent in the same order expected by the receiving side. Ensure that your receiving side can recognize the beginning and end of a message. If you start listening in the middle of a transmission stream, you will not get valid data. For example, if you are sending binary values from analogRead , these can only range from 0 to 1,, so the most significant byte must be less than 4 the int value of 1, is stored as the bytes 3 and ; therefore, there will never be data with two consecutive bytes greater than 3.
So, sending two bytes of 4 or any value greater than 3 cannot be valid data and can be used to indicate the start or end of a message. If you send or receive data as structures, check your compiler documentation to make sure the packing is the same on both sides.
Packing is the padding that a compiler uses to align data elements of different sizes in a structure. Either choose a transmission speed that ensures that the receiving side can keep up with the sending side, or use some kind of flow control. Flow control is a handshake that tells the sending side that the receiver is ready to get more data.
Chapter 2 provides more information on the variable types used in Arduino sketches. The Arduino compiler packs structures on byte boundaries; see the documentation for the compiler you use on your computer to set it for the same packing. If you are not clear on how to do this, you may want to avoid using structures to send data. You want to respond to binary data sent from Arduino in a programming language such as Processing. For example, you want to respond to Arduino messages sent in Recipe 4.
The following is a Processing sketch that sets the size of a rectangle proportional to the integer values received from the Arduino sketch in Recipe 4. The Processing language influenced Arduino, and the two are intentionally similar.
The setup function in Processing is used to handle one-time initialization, just like in Arduino. Ensure that you set portIndex to the serial port that is connected to your Arduino. The draw function in Processing works like loop in Arduino; it is called repeatedly. The code in draw checks if data is available on the serial port; if so, bytes are read and converted to the integer value represented by the bytes.
A rectangle is drawn based on the integer values received. You can read more about Processing on the Processing website. You want to send binary bytes, integers, or long values from Processing to Arduino. When the mouse is clicked in the Processing window, sendMessage will be called with index equal to the vertical position of the mouse in the window when clicked and value equal to the horizontal position.
The window size was set to ,, so index would fit into a single byte and value would fit into two bytes:. It sends the value as two bytes, with the most significant byte first:. The next three define s must mirror the definitions used in the sending program:. The next lines convert the two bytes back to an integer. Compare this to Processing code that sent the two bytes comprising the value:.
If the code gets here, the tag was not recognized. This helps you to ignore data that may be incomplete or corrupted:.
This code is similar to the Processing code in the previous recipes, with the addition of a function called sendMessage. In this example, the function is called with three parameters: a tag, an index, and a value. The function first sends the header character to identify the start of the message.
Then the single byte index is sent, followed by the two bytes that comprise the integer value. You can make your own version of this function to send the combination of values that you need for your application. You want to send groups of binary bytes, integers, or long values from Arduino. For example, you may want to send the values of the digital and analog pins to Processing. This recipe sends a header followed by an integer containing the bit values of digital pins 2 to This is followed by six integers containing the values of analog pins 0 through 5.
Chapter 5 has many recipes that set values on the analog and digital pins that you can use to test this sketch:. This will be fixed, soon. If you want to test that, download the v0. GF-Huang What board are you using? This should be fixed in v0. Sorry the file was misnamed. I'm rerunning the build now and the correct file name should display. Is there a reason for that? It should do that for all chips that actually have USB connectivity Atmega32u4 etc. What board are you seeing this issue with?
This should be fixed with the next release, see I'm still having the same issue. Serial is undefined. Tried to apply both solutions of gemul ' s solutions. Tried to use the tag parser then the editor recognizes the Serial command but it cannot be compiled within the same issue. What am i missing? Any ideas on how to fix this? The other functions such as digitalWrite, pinMode etc are working just fine. But not for Serial command.

That is where they are declared rather than defined. True, the actual Serial object is defined in HardwareSerial0.
However, I'm guessing that he's more interested in the declaration. May be but you could use the the documentation for that - or at least you could if te Arduino documentation did not have such a scant regard for specifying argument data types!
