问题
I have a FTDI connected to my PC and the FTDI is connected to an Intel Edison Arduino breakout board 0RX and 1TX pins.
Serial pin hookup:
Edison TX ------> FTDI RX
Edison RX ------> FTDI TX
To edit the Intel Edisons GPIO I followed the correct answer in the first post:
https://communities.intel.com/message/265411#265411
To view my GPIO configurations I executed:
cat /sys/kernel/debug/gpio
Which then echoed out:
Nodejs code:
var SerialPort = require("serialport").SerialPort;
var port = "/dev/ttyMFD1";
var serialPort = new SerialPort(port, {
baudrate: 9600
}, false);
console.log("Open port: "+ port);
serialPort.open(function (error) {
if (error) {
console.log('Failed to open: '+error);
} else {
console.log('open');
serialPort.on('data', function(data) {
console.log('data received: ' + data);
});
//write data to serial port every second
var counter = 90;
setInterval(function () {
serialPort.write(String(counter)+ "\r\n", function(err) {
if(err) {
console.log('err ' + err);
}else{
console.log('Writing data ');
}
});
counter++;
if(counter>100)
counter =90;
}, 1000);
}
});
I then executed:
node uart.js
I get strange characters even when I am not sending characters to the Intel Edison
Strange characters:
I wasn't sure if my nodejs script was causing any issues so I executed:
cat /dev/ttyMFD1
which echoed out the same strange characters even when I wasn't sending data to the Intel Edison.
I have no idea why I am receiving the strange characters when I am not sending data to the Intel Edison or how to stop that from happening. I am not sure if I configured my GPIOs correct or if it is noise or what...? What do I need to do to fix/troubleshoot this issue?
To troubleshoot this further I added the following code snippet inside of the serialPort on function:
var s = JSON.stringify(data);
console.log ("data: " + s);
That code produces:
[255,255,255,255]
UPDATE
The issues seems to be with the setInterval function. I remove the set interval and for a test I implemented a for-loop. The loop made 10 rounds successfully sending characters without receiving the garbage characters.
回答1:
To enhance your code, you can enable PIN0/PIN1 for UART usage (TX/RX) with MRAA without to set from the command shell
var m = require('mraa');
var uart = new m.Uart(0);
回答2:
The strange characters were due to a really stupid mistake on my part. I forgot to hook the GND from the FTDI board to the GND of the Intel Edison. Once I connected the GNDs together the strange characters stopped.
