Sending hex value 0xAA through serial port

hi,

     im making a applicaton to interface with a device by sending hex values
const u8 Hx =  { 0xAA, 0x05, 0x01, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 };

to the device . but it is a problem in sending “0XAA” through serial communication. so can u help me.

]\

What is the problem? How are you trying to send the data, and how is it failing?

hello tomridl,

            Thanks.im trying to send below hex data's for communicating with the a device and it will respond only the following hex values are received through uart at a stretch.
const u8 Hx[6] =  { 0xAA, 0x05, 0x01, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 };
                        
        	       adl_fcmSendData(uart_handler,Hx,6);

But for sending the data 0xAA which is of two u8 bytes which is not possible to send at a stretch through serial communication. so can u help me?

Firstly, 0xAA is a single u8 byte (in binary it would be 1010 1010, i.e. 8 bits which is one u8). 0xAA is just a number (170), and is no different from any other number.

Are you successfully subscribing to the FCM using the adl_fcmSubscribe function before trying to send the data?

Is the receiver set to the correct baud rate to receive the packet?

Are you using « 7 bits » mode on a v24 serial link?

The above is my code on sending the hex values i should get response through SMS but im getting only empty SMS. Baud rates are same for both the devices “115200” and im using 8 bit data transfer.

Note that these are unprintable characters, and thus will not show up in an SMS.

hi,

 thanks for the reply, but on seeing the data response from hyperterminal i m not getting proper data only a single junk data.

In the code you posted, you had 2 functions called Query_Fare and 2 called faredata. Which are the correct ones?

Try to explain exactly what you are trying to achieve, because I am still not quite sure what you want to do. ( http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#goal )

hi,

  i will explain u the whole thing. im trying to interface my Q2686 module with a camera for receving snapshot using OV528 Protocol and transferring the data through FTP to server. For making connection with camera i need to send command through synchronous communication for making connection with it

"AA 0D 00 00 00 00" 

In response it will send “AA 0E 0D 00 00 00”

so after making connection i need to send command for taking snapshot “AA 04 01 00 00 00” and data image will be packet data of 1024 bytes of hex data. and so on till the last byte.

So im having trouble in making connection with the camera for receiving the response data. so can u help me?

Have you carefully studied the whole of the description of FCM in the ADL User Guide :question:

There is an Application Note about FCM in the downloads area.

Have you spoken to your Distributor or FAE for assistance :question:

Have you looked at this example: viewforum.php?f=111 :question:

Haev you looked at the examples included with the Developer Studio :question:

Ya i have gone through the description of FCM i did not get can u please specify

ya i have gone through it but sorry i did not found any example related to this.

hi,

On sending the total hex string "0xAA,0x0D,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00"  i can able to see only  "ª" on hyperterminal which is 0xAA so i think the remaining values are not properly send. 

Im using

const u8 QUERY_FARE[6] =  {0xAA,0x0D,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00};

 adl_fcmSendData(uart_handler,QUERY_FARE,6);

can u help me why the remaining hex values are not send.

As has already been pointed out to you, these are non-printing codes - so you should not expect to see anything meaningful on a text-based terminal like Hyperterminal :exclamation:

First you need to determine whether they are actually not being sent, or if it’s just that you are not seeing them being received - eg, due to using an inappropriate tool (Hyperterminal)…

Try using a program called Docklight (http://www.docklight.de/), and put it into HEX mode. You will see exactly what is being transmitted.

thanks for ur replies

Have a look at the Open UART Service in the Device Services of the ADL User Guide. You might be able to use this. You could also control the required handshaking lines by using them as a GPIO and using the GPIO Service.

If you’re struggling to understand FCM, then you’ll have no chance with Open UART :exclamation:

Please explain exactly what you mean by this “handshake”

Be sure to explain clearly what you actually need to achieve - not (just) your idea of a method to aqchieve it
