Note :
This question is completely different from the questions that I have asked before although the code snippets might be the same, So please do not waive it as a duplicate right when you see it.
In my setup I have connected two arduino's Serially. An Arduino Mega is the one that is sending the string and a Arduino Uno is the one that's receiving it.
- Arduino Mega : TX1(19),RX1(18) - Serial1
- Arduino Uno : RX(10),TX(11) - using SoftwareSerial
- Gnd is connecetd on both boards
Arduino UNO - code is same for both cases
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
SoftwareSerial s(10, 11);
void setup()
{
delay(200);
Serial.begin(9600);
s.begin(9600);
while (!Serial) ; // wait for Arduino Serial Monitor
}
void loop()
{
if(s.available()>0)
{
Serial.print("\nrec\n");
delay(100);
String b = s.readStringUntil('\n');
delay(100);
Serial.print(b);
delay(40);
}
}
When the code in my arduino mega has only a print statement to send a string an infinite no. of times to the Uno, The Uno is receiving the string properly.
Arduino Mega
void setup()
{
Serial1.begin(9600);
}
void loop()
{
Serial1.println("e2e4");
delay(100);
}
Now when I send the string an infinite no. of times from the Arduino mega but this time the mega has a lot more functions included in the program as well. In this case the Uno does not receive the string sent.
Arduino Mega - code containing a lot of functions and sedning a string to
Uno
