UART interrupt to trigger buffer read on character pattern detection

Postby tristanb293 » Wed Jul 19, 2017 9:43 am

Hello!

I have adapted the uart example code found here - https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/bl ... art_test.c in the form shown below.

I am looking to read the UART buffer in ONLY upon the recognition of the 'LF' (line feed) closing character than comes with every NMEA0183 sentence (boat data format). I want to split these up as I want to eventually have them separately packaged for TCP/UDP packaging.

I am wondering how to alter the interfacing between the uart_enable_pattern_det_intr() and the uart_read_bytes() functions. Do I need to configure the way the interrupt works in some way? At the moment the read function is running whenever there is nothing more being added to the buffer (the frequency of the read depending on the baud rate). Just struggling to get a handle on what the ISR is actually doing at the moment and what purpose it it serving in the code.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks Guys :D

I do have similar issue. Have you figured it out yet?

See reply on my most recent query - viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2534 I don't think it's actually implementable live time at the moment, you have to incorporate another buffer
