Arduino Serial Read File
Arduino boards such as the Uno, MEGA2560 and Due all have a serial port that connects to the USB device port on the board. This port allows sketches to be loaded to the board using a USB cable. Code in a sketch can use the same USB / serial port to communicate with the PC by using the Arduino IDE Serial Monitor window, or a Processing application for example. The USB port appears as a virtual COM port on the PC.This article shows how to use Arduino serial ports when additional serial ports are needed for a project.
Moving on to the Arduino setup function, we start by initializing a serial connection, so we can later print the content read from the file. Serial.begin(115200); Now we will mount the file system by calling the begin method on the SPIFFS extern variable, passing as input the value true, which ensures the file system will be formatted in case mounting fails. For writing the program, go to FILE- NEW, after which, you will get the following screen. Afterwards, plug the Arduino board to your system. Afterwards, write the following code to read the input from Serial Monitor and display it as follows. This doesn't actually have to be a three part programming challenge - because you can use the PySerial module. This is a module I have used in the past to retrieve online data and pass it directly to the arduino via the serial port. To begin, you have to install the module as documented on the link I gave you.
Arduino Serial Ports AvailableThe serial port for programming the Arduino mentioned above is a hardware serial port. The microcontroller on the Arduino board has a hardware serial port built-in, so that after the port has been initialized by software, a byte sent to the port will be sent out serially by the hardware.The Arduino Uno has only one hardware serial port because the microcontroller used on the Uno has only one built-in serial port. The Arduino MEGA 2560 and Arduino Due both have 3 extra hardware serial ports. Serial Port Technical DetailsThe hardware serial ports referred to here are UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter) ports. They may be referred to as USART (Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter) ports in the microcontroller documentation if they are configurable in both synchronous and asynchronous modes.
