arduino Bluetooth Communication
Parameters
| method | details |
|---|---|
| SoftwareSerial.h | Documentation |
| SoftwareSerial(rxPin, txPin, inverse_logic) | Constructor. rxPin: Data in (receive) pin, defaults to 0. txPin: Data out (transmit) pin, defaults to 1. inverse_logic: If true, treats LOW as if it were HIGH and HIGH as LOW when determining bit values. defaults to false. |
| begin(speed) | Sets the baud rate for serial communication. Supported baud rates are 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 14400, 19200, 28800, 31250, 38400, 57600, and 115200. |
| available() | Check if there is some data over serial |
| read() | Reads a string from serial |
| isListening() | Checks to see if requested software serial port is actively listening. |
| overflow() | Checks if a software serial buffer overflow has occurred. Calling this function clears the overflow flag, meaning that subsequent calls will return false unless another byte of data has been received and discarded in the meantime. The software serial buffer can hold 64 bytes. |
| peek() | Return a character that was received on the RX pin of the software serial port. Unlike read(), however, subsequent calls to this function will return the same character. Note that only one SoftwareSerial instance can receive incoming data at a time (select which one with the listen() function). |
| print(data) | Prints data to the transmit pin of the software serial port. Works the same as the Serial.print() function. |
| println(data) | Prints data to the transmit pin of the software serial port, followed by a carriage return and line feed. Works the same as the Serial.println() function. |
| listen() | Enables the selected software serial port to listen. Only one software serial port can listen at a time; data that arrives for other ports will be discarded. Any data already received is discarded during the call to listen() (unless the given instance is already listening). |
| write(data) | Prints data to the transmit pin of the software serial port as raw bytes. Works the same as the Serial.write() function. |
Remarks
Common Mistake : If you keep the rx and tx pins at default values (0 and 1), you cannot upload new code until and unless you remove it, so it's almost always better to change the tx and rx pins in the SoftwareSerial constructor.
