B4R Question B4R(SoftSerial) and B4J reveice buffer not same.

[tzfpg]

I use softserial pin connect to rs232 device, when receive the buffer show not correct, but i write small B4J program to test, i receive all correct buffer. Which part of B4R got a problem?

B4J:

'Non-UI application (console / server application)
#Region Project Attributes
    #CommandLineArgs:
    #MergeLibraries: True
#End Region

Sub Process_Globals
    Private serial1 As Serial
    Private astream As AsyncStreams
    Private t1 As Timer
    Private bc As ByteConverter
End Sub

Sub AppStart (Args() As String)
    serial1.Initialize("")
    serial1.Open("com2")
    serial1.SetParams(57600,8,1,0)
    astream.Initialize(serial1.GetInputStream,serial1.GetOutputStream,"Astream")
    t1.Initialize("t1",2000)
    t1.Enabled=True
    StartMessageLoop
End Sub

'Return true to allow the default exceptions handler to handle the uncaught exception.
Sub Application_Error (Error As Exception, StackTrace As String) As Boolean
    Return True
End Sub

Sub t1_Tick
    Dim b(16) As Byte
    b(0)=0x02
    b(1)=0x30
    b(2)=0x33
    b(3)=0x34
    b(4)=0x36
    b(5)=0x30
    b(6)=0x37
    b(7)=0x44
    b(8)=0x45
    b(9)=0x30
    b(10)=0x30
    b(11)=0x36
    b(12)=0x34
    b(13)=0x38
    b(14)=0x39
    b(15)=0x03
    astream.Write(b)
End Sub

Sub Astream_NewData (Buffer() As Byte)
    Log("Buffer Length: " & Buffer.Length & " Buffer: " & bc.HexFromBytes(Buffer))
End Sub

i receive correct buffer:

buffer not correct:

few month ago B4R didn't have this problem.

 

[janderkan]

What are the 2 delays doing?

 

[Erel]

The code looks correct. Check this thread: https://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=455333.0

What are the 2 delays doing?

i forgot delete it, that is do nothing.

 

[janderkan]

I would stick to Erel's solution.
B4J is RS232
B4R is TTL232
You need something like this

[emexes]

Does softserial go as high as 57600 with the Arduino processor you have? Can you lower the speed to 9600?

The fact that you are receiving data, but less than the B4J program, has me thinking of issues other than the voltage level (but I agree that, if there is not already level conversion in the circuit, then you should address that issue also).

Thanks all reply, I already solved the problem, due to RS232 port damage.
Now everything run in position.
