I am sending a string value(Lets say "Test") from my application. So i want to receive that string("Test") in psoc and send hexadecimal value to my application from psoc.

I need a very simple PSOC program.

Note :- I know how to read a character but not sure how to read a string in PSOC.

Thanks,

Abinash

Hi,

A c string is an array of chars ending with a NULL (0).

So "Hello" is

cstr[] = { 'H', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o', 0 } ;

So we need to read letters from the start of the array to the end,

meantime we need to monitor if the string is too long for the buffer.

As you were specify the buffer length 30, I changed it to 31 for additional NULL.

May be we can go with the default 4 bytes buffer, but to be safe, I chose 32 (could be 31)

Hi,

While ago, I posted a sample tty_utils

Re: tty_utils a utility sample for CLI type program

If you use may sample, you can get a string by using

int value ;

if (get_stiring()) {

    sscanf(str, "%x", &value) ; /* get value from the str[] which is the string buffer */

   ...

}

moto

P.S. by using my sample, when get_string() returns non-0 value,

the string is stored in a global char array str[] which has the length of STR_BUF_LEN+1

Or you can use get_line() which will get input up to EOL.

In the above sample, I got a string and converted to an int as the string was a hexdecimal string, such as "0x32".

How to receive string using UART Communication.

I have written a program but its not able to compare.

Below is my program.

#include "project.h"

int main(void)

{

    //uint8_t c;

    char c[30];

   

    CyGlobalIntEnable; /* Enable global interrupts. */

    UART_Start() ;

    UART_PutString("\x1b[2J\x1b[;H") ; /* clear screen */

    UART_PutString("This is an ECHO program\n\r") ;

   

    for (;;) {

  

        if (UART_GetRxBufferSize() > 0) { /* received some string */

            c[29] = UART_GetByte() ;

           

           

           // UART_PutString("This is an ECHO program\n\r") ;

          //c = UART_GetChar() ;

            //CyDelay(1000);

           

           int val=strcmp(c, "factory cal ph0x0D");

        int val1 =strcmp(c, "factory cal orp0X0D");

            if (val==0)

            {

             

                UART_PutString("Light \n") ;

                LED_Write(1);

                UART_PutString("else1");

           

            }

            else if(val1==0)

            {

                LED_Write(0);

                UART_PutString("else2");

            }

          

        }

       

    }

}
