UART - Duplex Serial Communication Bus

This class transmits data through the UART.

Constructor

machine.UART

class machine.UART(UART.UARTn, buadrate, databits, parity, stopbits, flowctl)

Parameter:

• UARTn - Integer type. UART number.
  UART0 - DEBUG PORT
  UART1 - BT PORT
  UART2 - MAIN PORT
  UART3 - USB CDC PORT (BG95M3 series module does not support it.)
  UART4 - STDOUT PORT (Only EC200U/EC600U/EG915U series module supports it. )

• buadrate - Integer type. Baud rate. Some common baud rates are supported, like 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200 and 230400.

  EC200U/EC600U/EG912U/EG915U series support 2400、4800、9600、14400、19200、28800、33600、38400、57600、115200、230400、460800、921600、1000000.

• databits - Integer type. Data bit. Range: [5–8]. EC600U/EC200U/EG915U/EC800G series module only supports 8 data bits.

• parity - Integer type. Parity check. 0 – NONE, 1 – EVEN, 2 – ODD.

• stopbits - Integer type. Stop bit. Range: [1–2].

• flowctl - Integer type. Hardware control flow. 0 – FC_NONE, 1 – FC_HW.

UART Pin Correspondences:

1.When UART1 of EC600M/EC800M/EG912N series module is in flowctl = 1 state, modules only map UART1 to different pins but flow control is not enabled.

2.BG95 series module use UART4， need call modem.main_uart_enable_set(1) to enable UART4 and reset module to take effect，as follow:

import modem
#get Main_UART state 1-enabled，0-disabled
modem.main_uart_enable_get()
#set Main_UART 1-enable，0-disable,need reset module to take effect
modem.main_uart_enable_set(1)

Example:

>>> # Creates a UART object
>>> from machine import UART
>>> uart1 = UART(UART.UART1, 115200, 8, 0, 1, 0)

Methods

uart.any

uart.any()

This method gets the size of the unread data in the receiving cache.

Return Value:

Size of data that is unread in the receiving cache.

Example:

>>> uart.any()
20 # It indicates that there is 20 bytes of unread data in the receiving cache.

uart.read

uart.read(nbytes)

This method reads data from the UART.

Parameter:

• nbytes - Integer type. Size of data to be read.

Return Value:

Size of data that has been read.

uart.write

uart.write(data)

This method sends data to the UART.

Parameter:

• data - Bytes type. Data to be sent.

Return Value:

Size of data that has been sent.

uart.close

uart.close()

This method disables the UART.

Return Value:

0 - Successful execution

-1 - Failed execution

uart.control_485

uart.control_485(UART.GPIOn, direction)

This method controls the direction of RS-485 communication. Before and after sending data through the UART, the specified GPIO is pulled up and down to indicate the direction of RS-485 communication.

Parameter:

• GPIOn - Integer type. GPIO numbers to be controlled. See class Pin - Control I/O Pins for pin definitions.

• direction - Integer type. Pin level change.
  1 - The pin is pulled high before the data is sent through the UART, and pulled low after the data is sent.
  

  0 - The pin is pulled low before the data is sent through the UART, and pulled high after the data is sent.

Return Value:

0 - Successful execution

-1 - Failed execution

Note: BC25 series/BG95-M3 series module does not support this method.

Example:

>>> from machine import UART
>>> uart1 = UART(UART.UART1, 115200, 8, 0, 1, 0)
>>> uart1.control_485(UART.GPIO24, 1)

uart.set_callback

uart.set_callback(fun)

This method sets the callback function of the UART. This callback function will be triggered when data is received on the UART.

Parameter:

• fun - Callback function of the UART. Prototype:

  fun(result_list)
  

  Parameter of the callback function:

  • result_list[0]：Whether the data is received successfully.

    0 - Received successfully

    Others - Receiving failed

  • result_list[1]：Port for receiving data.

  • result_list[2]：How much data is returned.

Return Value:

0 - Successful execution

-1 - Failed execution

Example:

>>> from machine import UART
>>> uart1 = UART(UART.UART1, 115200, 8, 0, 1, 0)
>>> 
>>> def uart_call(para):
>>>		print(para)
>>> uart1.set_callback(uart_call)

Example:

"""
Runnnig this routine, you need to connect the main port on the EVB to a PC by a USB-to-Serial Port Adapter, enable the main port by a UART tool on the PC and send data to this port. Then you can see the messages sent by PC.
