Send int or float data from PC to Nucleo by USART

[SMusc.1]

Hi, I am trying to send an integer from the PC (using Putty serial program) to the Nucleo board via USART interrupt but the board doesn't acquire the number correctly. In the code written here this happens: if I send any kind of number to the board like: 100, 200, 500, 700, 900, a different number arrive to the board and I can't see any changing in the funtcion:

__HAL_TIM_SET_COMPARE(&htim1, TIM_CHANNEL_1, num);

Seems that the value that I am passing by using a char message and then converted in uint8_t format to the function is converted in a bad number. In fact on the channel TM1_CH1 where I connect one channel of my digital scope, any kind of three digit number I enter in the serial always has the same effect. Any help? Attached some picture:

Here you can find help and advice for your STM32 project.

there is no help in this way. What kind of link u send

So concentrate on that, first.

Make a minimal project which just has the UART receiving a number - nothing else.

Get that working before adding extra complications like timers and stuff.

PS:

You should pay attention to this comment:

  /* NOTE : This function should not be modified, when the callback is needed,
            the HAL_UART_RxCpltCallback can be implemented in the user file.
   */

PPS:

No, you can't just cast a char array to get the numerical value corresponding to the ASCCI codes it contains!

char data[3];
uint8_t num;

:
:

 num = (uint8_t*)data;

Take a look at the C Standard Library function atoi()

https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/string/byte/atoi

note that it takes a string.

[Tesla DeLorean]

Too reiterate Andrew's point, the data you're passing is ASCII decimal data, so "123" passed as three bytes.

This is not the same as int data = 123;

You need to NUL terminate a string, perhaps waiting for a Carriage Return or ENTER character to demark that the input is finished.

Such that sscanf(string, "%d", &data); or data = atoi(string); would be viable for int data;

For double's there atof() but does need the floating point libraries and support loaded.

Each time you press a key on PuTTy, it sends the ASCII code for that key

The ASCII code for '5' is 0x35;

The ASCII code for '0' is 0x30.

So, after receiving those three characters, you data[] array will contain:

data[0] = 0x35;

data[1] = 0x30;

data[2] = 0x30.

Clearly, just casting that to an int is not going to give you the required value of 500 !

This is standard serial comms - not specific to STM32.
