Detailed Description

A serial port (UART) for communication with other serial devices.

Can be used for Full Duplex communication, or Simplex by specifying one pin as NC (Not Connected)

Example: 

  #include "mbed.h"
  #include "BufferedSerial.h"

  BufferedSerial pc(USBTX, USBRX);

  int main()
  { 
      while(1)
      {
          Timer s;
        
          s.start();
          pc.printf("Hello World - buffered\n");
          int buffered_time = s.read_us();
          wait(0.1f); // give time for the buffer to empty
        
          s.reset();
          printf("Hello World - blocking\n");
          int polled_time = s.read_us();
          s.stop();
          wait(0.1f); // give time for the buffer to empty
        
          pc.printf("printf buffered took %d us\n", buffered_time);
          pc.printf("printf blocking took %d us\n", polled_time);
          wait(0.5f);
      }
  }

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

BufferedSerial ( PinName  tx,
PinName  rx,
const char *  name = NULL 
)

Create a BufferedSerial port, connected to the specified transmit and receive pins.

Parameters:
txTransmit pin
rxReceive pin
buf_sizeprintf() buffer size
tx_multipleamount of max printf() present in the internal ring buffer at one time
nameoptional name
Note:
Either tx or rx may be specified as NC if unused

Definition at line 26 of file BufferedSerial.cpp.

~BufferedSerial ( void   ) [virtual]

Destroy a BufferedSerial port.

Definition at line 34 of file BufferedSerial.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

int getc ( void   ) [virtual]

Get a single byte from the BufferedSerial Port.

Should check readable() before calling this.

Returns:
A byte that came in on the Serial Port

Definition at line 52 of file BufferedSerial.cpp.

int printf ( const char *  format,
  ... 
) [virtual]

Write a formatted string to the BufferedSerial Port.

Parameters:
formatThe string + format specifiers to write to the Serial Port
Returns:
The number of bytes written to the Serial Port Buffer

Definition at line 81 of file BufferedSerial.cpp.

int putc ( int  c ) [virtual]

Write a single byte to the BufferedSerial Port.

Parameters:
cThe byte to write to the Serial Port
Returns:
The byte that was written to the Serial Port Buffer

Definition at line 57 of file BufferedSerial.cpp.

int puts ( const char *  s ) [virtual]

Write a string to the BufferedSerial Port.

Must be NULL terminated

Parameters:
sThe string to write to the Serial Port
Returns:
The number of bytes written to the Serial Port Buffer

Definition at line 65 of file BufferedSerial.cpp.

int readable ( void   ) [virtual]

Check on how many bytes are in the rx buffer.

Returns:
1 if something exists, 0 otherwise

Definition at line 42 of file BufferedSerial.cpp.

virtual ssize_t write ( const void *  s,
std::size_t  length 
) [virtual]

Write data to the Buffered Serial Port.

Parameters:
sA pointer to data to send
lengthThe amount of data being pointed to
Returns:
The number of bytes written to the Serial Port Buffer
int writeable ( void   ) [virtual]

Check to see if the tx buffer has room.

Returns:
1 always has room and can overwrite previous content if too small / slow

Definition at line 47 of file BufferedSerial.cpp.
