ftdi android,FTDI D2xx android java not reading

问题

I am currently porting some code I have form C# to Java to run in on an Android system.

In my code, I have to read some data from a board that has a FTDI chip. I am trying to use the java drivers from the FTDI website.

I can connect to the device and send commands to it correctly (LEDs blink as they should). The board appears to be sending me data correctly.

bytesAvailable = ftDevice.getQueueStatus(); returns the expected number

int bytesRead = ftDevice.read(rxData, bytesAvailable); returns the same number

However on calling the read() as above I see the following in my logcat:

Cannot read data from Source!!

from tag:

readBulkInData::

I cannot see what this might be. I tried fiddling with the settings of the device in my code, but to no avail.

回答1:

I solved this.

By placing the whole sequence of instructions for reading (the getQueueStatus() and the read()) in another Thread. Specifically, I used an AsyncTask, and put the reading instructions in its doInBackground() method.

回答2:

i have modified the part of the FTDI example for write and wait until receive an answer. this works for me in a simple HMI app for Parker Compax3 servodrives. This sequence is triggered every 100ms.

// part of FTDI example

synchronized (ftDev) {

if(ftDev.isOpen() == false) {

return;

}

ftDev.setLatencyTimer((byte)16);

String writeString = tvWrite.getText().toString()+"\r";

byte[] writeByte = writeString.getBytes();

// write

ftDev.write(writeByte, writeString.length());

// new - wait until the buffer have data - no fixed length of incoming data - 4 - 8 bytes

readRequest = true;

startTimeRead = SystemClock.uptimeMillis();

while (true){

timeOutInMilliseconds = SystemClock.uptimeMillis() - startTimeRead;

if (timeOutInMilliseconds > timeOutTime) // checking after 70ms

{

readSize = ftDev.getQueueStatus();

if(readSize>0) {

mReadSize = readSize;

if(mReadSize > READBUF_SIZE) {

mReadSize = READBUF_SIZE;

}

readCompleted = false;

// call asynctask

ReadAsyncTask task = new ReadAsyncTask();

task.execute();

// wait until asynctask has completed

while (readCompleted = false){ // endless loop until asynctask have read

if (readCompleted = true){ //

break;

}

}

// if read completed, write values to string/textview

if (readCompleted = true){

textView13.setText("Ok" + " " + mReadSize );

tvRead.setText(readString); //now it updates the textboxes, strings

}

}

//do anything if there are no data after 70ms

else{

readString="**";

textView13.setText("Timeout, no data");

}

// go out, wait 30ms and do it again

break;

}

}

}

here is the asynctask

class ReadAsyncTask extends AsyncTask{

@Override

protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {

int j = 0;

ftDev.read(rbuf,mReadSize);

for(j=0; j

rchar[j] = (char)rbuf[j];

}

// clear buffer

ftDev.purge((byte) 1);

// copy to string

readString =String.copyValueOf(rchar,0,mReadSize);

readCompleted = true;

return null;

}

@Override

protected void onPreExecute() {

super.onPreExecute();

}

@Override

protected void onPostExecute(Void result) {

super.onPostExecute(result);

}

}

update call after / tricky but it works for me

public void requestCompax() {

sendseq += 1;

if (sendseq > 6){

sendseq = 1;

}

switch (sendseq){

case 1: //request planejado

tvWrite.setText("O1903.1"); // *send "planejado"

senddata(); // call write and read serial

tvIntrodutor.setText(readString); // *normally received the answer must be here

break;

case 2: //request produzido

tvWrite.setText("O1903.2"); // send produzido

senddata(); // call write and read serial

tvPlanejado.setText(readString); // *but received answer "planejado" - it comes here, next call later ?!?!

break;

case 3: //request value caixas

tvWrite.setText("O1903.3"); // * send caixas

senddata();

tvProduzido.setText(readString); // same with produzido

break;

case 4: //request pulas

tvWrite.setText("O1903.4");

senddata();

tvCaixas.setText(readString); // same with "caixas"

break;

case 5: //request caixas/hora

tvWrite.setText("O1903.5");

senddata();

tvPulas.setText(readString); // same with pulas

break;

case 6: //request adiantar/atrasar

tvWrite.setText("O1902.2"); //adiantar/atrasar

senddata();

tvCaixasHora.setText(readString); //same with caixas/hora

break;

default:

break;

}

}

its funny, update strings and textboxes at the next task.execute() call.

this works for me, maybe a little bit tricky, but i need to read and write only 5 parameters.

anybody in here know how to solve this? this was tested online and with simulator (10ms delay), same results.
