Uno256.name=Arduino Uno (256 Serial Buffer) You can see the core directory is referenced to our new directory with the modified file (=arduino_256_serialbuf) # We have added a section below it which will display in the Arduino IDE as Arduino Uno (256 Serial Buffer). The first section is for the standard Arduino Uno. The boards.txt file should be in a directory similar to C:\Program Files\arduino-1.0.1\hardware\arduinoīelow is part of the boards.txt file. Now we need to add an option to the boards.txt file to use this new directory. Here is the standard definition located near the top of the file #define SERIAL_BUFFER_SIZE 64Įdit the HardwareSerial.cpp file in the new directory and modify the buffer size #define SERIAL_BUFFER_SIZE 256 The hard coded buffer size is stored in a file called HardwareSerial.cpp (or USBAPI.h in more recent versions)
Make a complete copy of this directory and save it to C:\Program Files\arduino-1.0.1\hardware\arduino\cores\arduino_256_serialbuf
#Arduino fast serial read code
The whole of the Arduino core code is located in a directory similar to C:\Program Files\arduino-1.0.1\hardware\arduino\cores\arduino The solution is to create a complete copy of the arduino core code (it's really not that big and disk space is cheap), modify the buffer size in the new core code and then to create a new board which is listed in the Arduino IDE which uses this new core directory. The method described below is the option we chose to implement, and while not exactly elegant is easy to use and understand. We found a number of convoluted methods on the internet which claim to work, but we thought an easier solution might be of use to others who need to increase the buffer size. This is easy enough to implement but is a real pain because the Arduino core code which includes this setting is compiled before your actual program code is, so you cannot simply setup a #define or similar function to be able to select buffer size at compile time. The solution is easy, increase the buffer size to 256 bytes. The 64 byte limit meant that sending a burst of data longer than 64 bytes would cause data to be truncated as the ATmega328 could not process the data sent fast enough. This value is hard coded in the Arduino core source code and applies to all Arduino boards, even those with a vast amount of RAM available. However, this data buffer is by default only 64 bytes in size. The Arduino core code contains a nice little round robin data buffer where you can keep throwing data at it and the arduino code will read the data and process it in order. When using our TFT display we expected the controlling program to send a big burst of serial data initially to set various configuration settings on the screen and to display a screenfull of data.
#Arduino fast serial read software
Whilst developing the software for our Arduino based Serial Graphic TFT Display a problem with transmitting too much data at once occured.
