TM4C129 (the newest tiva lauchpad) Serial.available() problem

[L.R.A 78]

Hi guys i bring more bugs

 

So i was trying to send data by serial to my launchpad and i was feeling lazy so i use energia Serial.

Problem is Serial.available doesn't seem to work.

 

I try to send for example the number 256 and serial available just returns 2 istead of 3, but after i empty it, sundedly there's the 3rd byte and Serial.available returns 1 (it's not the number 5, it's realy the 6).

 

So i'm going to try to check what the problem is but i realy never worked with the UART so if anyone could help it would be apreciated

@L.R.A can you please post the Sketch you used.

Do you mean you send a string 256 and Serial.available() returns only 2?

in the Serial monitor i send the number 256 (string) or even 99999 and the the Serial.available only says i sended 2 chars

On Energia 0101E0012 with a TM4C129 Serial.available() returns the correct number of characters with this test sketch:

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

void loop(){
  if (Serial.available()){
    delay(1000);
    Serial.print(Serial.available());
    Serial.print(" characters received. They were: ");

    while(Serial.available()){
      Serial.print(Serial.read());
      Serial.print(",");
    }
    Serial.println();
  }
}

Does your program/sketch/code/whatver give the serial data enough time to be received? These chips are fast enough that I've found I need to wait for incoming data in places where I don't have to with an Arduino or MSP430G.

I just went and used TivaWare to program my UART comunication and it works just fine. 

 

Gona try some tests (maybe) later to check what was my problem with Energia

We are having the same issue as described above.

We are having the same issue as described above.

 

i can't realy help with this right now, exams and stuff prevent me from that.

 

Starting next week i'll be in vacation and then i can try to see why Energia isn't working
