serial communication issue in windows 10

Post by kanishka89 »

i was using v-rep on windows 8.1 for more than 6 months and i was able to communicate with an arduino without any hassle. but after upgrading to windows 10 the read values from the serial stream are not available in the stored variable.

here is the code that i use,

Code: Select all

countReadChar=simSerialCheck(ardd)
		  if (countReadChar>0) then
			 readDD = simSerialRead(ardd,10,false,'/n',0)
			simSerialSend(ardd,'abc')
				print(countReadChar)
				print(readDD)
		  end

Hello,

could you successfully open the port, are there any error codes or messages in the console window?

Cheers

yes the port was successfully opened and i monitored the serial buffer also which is reducing as i read the serial port but the variable prints nil on the console

i tested on a another computer with windows 10 today but end up with the same results

Ok, we will try to add alternative serial port routines for next release (beta version in 1-2 weeks).

Cheers

In file V-REP/system/usrset.txt, change the value of useAlternateSerialPortRoutines.
