I'm having trouble to read more than one character using my program, I can't seem to figure out what went wrong with my program.

Step 2: Test with Python and a terminal emulator. You will now need to edit files /etc/inittab and /boot/cmdline.txt as described at RPiSerialConnection#PreventingLinuxusingtheserialport.When you have done this - remember to reboot after editing - the terminal emulator set up in Step 1 will no longer show any output from Linux - it is now free for use by programs. To start off we will be writing our own serial write script, go to the next section to learn how to do serial writes in Python. Programming the Raspberry Pi for Serial Writing. To start off, let’s begin writing our serialwrite.py script, this will write data over the serial port. Run the following two commands on your Raspberry Pi to.

actually I was expecting this

something like the above mentioned which is able read multiple characters at the same time not one by one.

I see a couple of issues.

In telecommunication and data transmission, serial communication is the process of sending data one bit at a time, sequentially, over a communication channel or computer bus.This is in contrast to parallel communication, where several bits are sent as a whole, on a link with several parallel channels. Serial communication is used for all long-haul communication and most computer networks. Serial port protocol. The 232Analyzer is an award-winning, easy-to-use, advanced RS232/RS485/RS422/ TTL/CMOS analyzer software that allows users to control, monitor, and analyze serial port activities in any data format (ASCII, hexadecimal, decimal, octal, or binary), and it comes with powerful features including Programmable Buttons, Automated Responses and Macros. Serial Communication Protocols: The Basics. SPI Protocol. Serial Peripheral Interface, which is commonly known as S-P-I or “spy” is one of the most popular interface specifications used in embedded systems. Since its introduction in the late 1980’s by Motorola, the SPI protocol has been widely used for short distance communication in. An FSM protocol file can be created for listening for commands from the serial port. The example below (which can be downloaded as an.fsm file from the right) updates a shared variable when receiving commands. An advanced example of such a 'listening' FSM protocol file is NMEA-0183 protocol file.

First:

ser.read() is only going to return 1 byte at a time.

If you specify a count

it will read 5 bytes (less if timeout occurrs before 5 bytes arrive.)

If you know that your input is always properly terminated with EOL characters, better way is to use

That will continue to read characters until an EOL is received.

Second:

Even if you get ser.read() or ser.readline() to return multiple bytes,since you are iterating over the return value, you willstill be handling it one byte at a time.

Get rid of the

and just say:

Serial sends data 8 bits at a time, that translates to 1 byte and 1 byte means 1 character.

You need to implement your own method that can read characters into a buffer until some sentinel is reached. The convention is to send a message like 12431n indicating one line.

So what you need to do is to implement a buffer that will store X number of characters and as soon as you reach that n, perform your operation on the line and proceed to read the next line into the buffer.

Note you will have to take care of buffer overflow cases i.e. when a line is received that is longer than your buffer etc..
