As title gives it away I am trying to just send Long integer
values from arduino and receiving it from my C# application.
My Arduino code is
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
}
long n;
byte b[4];
void loop()
{
n=500;
for (int i=0; i<10; i++)
{
n = n+20;
IntegerToBytes(n, b);
for (int i=0; i<4; ++i)
{
Serial.write((int)b[i]);
}
delay(1000);
}
}
void IntegerToBytes(long val, byte b[4])
{
b[3] = (byte )((val >> 24) & 0xff);
b[2] = (byte )((val >> 16) & 0xff);
b[1] = (byte )((val >> 8) & 0xff);
b[0] = (byte )((val) & 0xff);
}
And related C# code is
private void DataReceivedHandler(object sender, SerialDataReceivedEventArgs e)
{
if (mySerial.IsOpen)
{
int bytes = mySerial.BytesToRead;
byte[] byte_buffer = new byte[4];
mySerial.Read(byte_buffer, 0, 4);
if (bytes == 4)
{
SerialConverted_LONGValue = BitConverter.ToInt32(byte_buffer, 0);
}
}
}
After I debug the code it just writes the received value to a textbox. I can see just one value, and if any chance, it changes couple of times, as well.
What is wrong with my long to byte[]
and byte[] to long
conversion?
