Read from UART - Problem.

[prem111]

Hi. I'm using uasyncio.StreamReader to read data from uart, the problem is sending several packets at once and catching the delimiter which is e.g: "7E"

I thought about StreamReader.readexactly(1), i.e. reading a single character and catching the delimiter, but with large packet it works slowly.

Example packet "b'BE0003123123E6'" means: 7E: is "delimiter" 0003: is "lenght of packet" 123123: data E6: checksum.

When a single packet comes, it's OK. The problem is when I have several packages at once E.g:

Code: Select all

b'BE0005123123E67E0005123123E67E000512'
b'3123E6'

Please help! Thanks.

Check: https://github.com/peterhinch/micropyth ... as.py#L408
This method is basically what you are trying to do. 1st you read 1 byte until you hit the delimiter, then 4 bytes for your packet length and then the legth of the packet.

reading a single byte is slow or just seems to me?

read 200 (singly) bytes = 3 seconds:
recv = await sreader.read(1)

read 200 (together) bytes = 1 seconds.
recv = await sreader.read(200)

That is why you only read a single byte until you get your delimiter. after that your read 4 bytes for your "header" and then the amount of bytes that your packet is according to your header.

What if when the second part comes with the second packet ?

Not sure what you mean?
There are no packets, you just put bytes onto the UART. It doesn't matter if they are sent byte by byte or two of your "packets" together as 100 consecutive bytes.
You still read the stream of bytes until you find your delimiter. After that you read your header and after that your message.
