One-way serial communication example using Synaser & Arduino Nano

(1/6) > >>

Aruna:
I am following this example on the wiki and the arduino sketch I modified slightly as shown below:


--- Code: C++  [+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 = document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x = document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i < x.length; i++) { x[i].style.maxHeight='none'; x[i].style.height = Math.min(x[i].clientHeight+15,306)+'px'; x[i].style.resize = "vertical";}};} ---void setup(){    pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT); // Set the default led as digital out, this way will work on *any* board uno, nano, mega      // Start up serial connection    Serial.begin(9600); // baud rate    Serial.flush();    delay(1000);  // give the port time to work } void loop() {    String input = "";     // Read any serial input    while (Serial.available() > 0)    {        input += (char) Serial.read(); // Read in one char at a time        delay(5); // Delay for 5 ms so the next char has time to be received         if (input == "on")        {            digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH); // on        }        else if (input == "off")        {            digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW); // off        }        else if (input == "blink")        {          for (int i = 0; i <= 5; i++) {            digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH);  // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)            delay(500);                                      // wait for 0.5 seconds            digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW);   // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW            delay(500);                                  }        }    }}
When I test the sketch using the arduino IDE's serial monitor everything works as expected.

When testing from Lazarus I see the 'RX' and 'L' led's on the nano flicker but the led does not come on and stay on. I have tried changing baud rates, no luck. Can use some help in how best to move forward with this please.

From past experience when the leds flicker that is usually a sign of baud rate mismatch but I could not get things to work :-(

Check what you're doing to the control lines, in particular DTR which is usually connected to the Arduino's reset signal.

Yes, this is a likely cause of the symptoms described.

Try disabling the DTR signal by inserting ser.DTR := false; before calling the Connect method(untested).

Tried that already. No luck.

Tried it, same error.
