I build up a lab to test random number generator in MCU. MCU generates randrom in the range of (0,255), and send them to PC. In PC, I wrote a processing pde to read line by line and draw them as x,y to draw the random points.
My MCU prints out as following:
141,188
255,198
193,224
83,138
53,68
231,142
233,232
187,210
221,204
207,86
17,240
...
The random numbers are printed as "%d,%d\r\n". So far RNG in MCU works well.
In PC processing pde code, if I use Math.random() as local RNG, it works well, if I read each line and print to console, it works well, too. However if I merge them together, the draw() will draw some points and then stalls.....
/*
* Random_Serial_2D.pde
*/
import processing.serial.*;
import java.util.StringTokenizer;
Serial myPort; // The serial port
String inString = null;
void setup() {
size(256, 256);
noSmooth();
background(0);
translate(0,0);
stroke(255);
printArray(Serial.list());
myPort = new Serial(this, Serial.list()[0], 9600);
}
void draw() {
int x, y;
String[] sa = null;
int sz;
while (myPort.available() > 0) {
myPort.bufferUntil('\n');
if (inString != null){
//print(inString);
inString = inString.replace("\r\n","");
sa = inString.split(",");
sz = sa.length;
if (sz==2){
x = Integer.parseInt(sa[0]);
y = Integer.parseInt(sa[1]);
point(x,y);
}
inString = null;
}
}
}
void serialEvent(Serial p){
inString = p.readString();
}
I picked Processing because it is designed for interaction, maybe there is a bug in the code, but I have no clue about it.
Should I implement it as two seperate threads, one for reading and push to queue, and the other for drawing?
