Android Question Need help on IOIO uart

[chaiwatt]

Hi experts,
I need getting string data streaming from my external RS232 device by using the IOIO uart method. I searched around forum but not found exact solution. Present, I can connect to IOIO board and calling openUart but I can't get data streaming, I attached code and diagram as below. Appreciated much for all reply.

#Region  Project Attributes
    #ApplicationLabel: B4A Example
    #VersionCode: 1
    #VersionName:
    'SupportedOrientations possible values: unspecified, landscape or portrait.
    #SupportedOrientations: unspecified
    #CanInstallToExternalStorage: False
#End Region

#Region  Activity Attributes
    #FullScreen: False
    #IncludeTitle: True
#End Region

Sub Process_Globals
    'These global variables will be declared once when the application starts.
    'These variables can be accessed from all modules.
Dim yoyo As IOIO  'IOIO V1.7
Dim uart1 As Uart
Dim in1 As InputStream
Dim out1 As OutputStream
Dim TimerRX As Timer
End Sub

Sub Globals
    'These global variables will be redeclared each time the activity is created.
    'These variables can only be accessed from this module.

    Private Button1 As Button
    Private Button2 As Button
    Private Button3 As Button
    Private Button4 As Button
    Private lbStatus As Label
    Private txtRX As EditText
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    'Do not forget to load the layout file created with the visual designer. For example:
    Activity.LoadLayout("1")
   
End Sub

Sub Activity_Resume

End Sub

Sub Activity_Pause (UserClosed As Boolean)

End Sub

Sub Button1_Click
    yoyo.Initialize (True)
    yoyo.WaitForConnect ()
Msgbox("connected","")

End Sub
Sub Button2_Click
    yoyo.Disconnect
End Sub
Sub Button3_Click
    uart1=yoyo.OpenUart (5,uart1.IP_FLOATING ,4,uart1.OP_NORMAL,9600,uart1.PARITY_NONE ,uart1.STOPBIT_ONE )
    in1=uart1.InputStream
    out1=uart1.OutputStream
    TimerRX.Initialize("TimerRX",100)
    TimerRX.Enabled=True
End Sub
Sub Button4_Click
    uart1.Close
    in1.Close
    out1.Close
End Sub

Sub TimerRX_Tick()

If in1.BytesAvailable>0 Then

    TimerRX.Enabled=False
    Log ("IN")
   
End If
TimerRX.Enabled=True
End Sub

This works with IOIO Jar & XML 2.0

Hi Tom, I can capture the data coming. But seem they're unreadble format. It's look something like %%@** .

 

[Mrjoey]

the format has to be in ascii , http://www.asciitable.com/

 

[Tom Christman]

@chaiwatt Glad to hear it's receiving data stream
@Mrjoey Good catch

Dear all, thanks.
