DOUBT:UART SERIAL RECEIVE

[Arjun_Bansal]

I'm trying to Receive a message "hello" from serial monitor and viewing it on Live expression,but message is not coming as word. It is coming as single letter- H E L L O.

char msg[20]="hello\r";

HAL_UART_Receive(&huart2,msg,sizeof(msg),1000);

i am using this code.

Hello @Arjun_Bansal 

This is normal because you are sending an array of char and you are going to receive an array of char (every char take a byte of this array). Use UART_transmit to review it on the same serial monitor and you will see the full string.

Best regards.

I'm just getting started with it. Please let me know how to receive a string from serial monitor and see it as string on live expression. I MEAN HOW TO DECLARE A STRING.

To receive a string, you are doing exactly what you have to do. The reception will stay in this form. To understand more, take a look at this video.

Strings are declared as an array of char.

Best regards.

Hello @Arjun_Bansal and welcome to STCommunity :),

I advise you to take a look to these wikis:

• STM32StepByStep:Step3 Introduction to the UART - stm32mcu 
• Getting started with UART - stm32mcu

These articles explain what is UART and how to use it through examples

I hope this help you.

"DDD" corresponds to what is in msg, so no issue there. No reason the code you posted can't work.

Show your actual code in the place it's being used.
