FULL EXAMPLE READING DATA

[lalo4ka]

Hi, could you upload a complete example of how to read data?

Something like this should work:

SerialPort s;
try {
s = new SerialPort( "/dev/ttyUSB0" );
} catch (NoSuchPortException e) {
System.err.println( "Oh no! That port doesn't exist!" );
} catch (NotASerialPortException e) {
System.err.println( "Oh no! That's not a serial port!" );
}
InputStream is = s.getInputStream();
System.out.println("Read byte: " + is.read());

The InputStream acts exactly the same as any other InputStream that exists. This tutorial has examples of how to use InputStreams: https://jenkov.com/tutorials/java-io/inputstream.html

Thank you very much, my code now works.

My project is to read the data from a scale (Rhino Brand), however first you must send a command to request the data. and this was the step I was missing.

I share my code in case anyone needs it:

`SerialPort s = null;
try {
s = new SerialPort("/dev/ttyUSB0");
} catch (NoSuchPortException e) {
System.err.println("Oh no! That port doesn't exist!");
} catch (NotASerialPortException e) {
System.err.println("Oh no! That's not a serial port!");
}

 OutputStream os = s.getOutputStream();
// Send Letter P or number 80 en hexidecimal
os.write("P".getBytes());
InputStream is = s.getInputStream(); BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));
System.out.println(br.readLine());`
