uart2 not working in stm32 nucleo F411RE

Hi,

i wrote code that wait for a ping from esp32 and when he got it, it sent back pong to esp32

In the uart1 everthing works fine, but i do not understand why, in uart2 it is not working

I doubled checked the code and everthing looks ok for me, 

 

The code is the same like uart1, i just changed everything from uart1 to uart2

 

 

Code in uart2 - Not Working:

#include "stm32f4xx.h"

#include <string.h>

 

/* Private variables ---------------------------------------------------------*/

UART_HandleTypeDef huart2;

uint8_t rxBuffer[5] = {0}; // Buffer for receiving data

const char *ping = "PING";

const char *pong = "PONG";

 

/* Function Prototypes */

void SystemClock_Config(void);

void Error_Handler(void);

void GPIO_Init(void);

void USART2_UART_Init(void);

 

/**

* @brief The application entry point.

int main(void) {

/* Initialize the HAL Library */

HAL_Init();

 

/* Configure the system clock */

SystemClock_Config();

 

/* Initialize GPIO pins and USART2 */

GPIO_Init();

USART2_UART_Init();

 

while (1) {

// Receive 4 bytes (expecting "PING")

HAL_UART_Receive(&huart2, rxBuffer, 4, HAL_MAX_DELAY);

 

// Compare received data to "PING"

if (strncmp((char *)rxBuffer, ping, 4) == 0) {

// If "PING" received, send "PONG" back

HAL_UART_Transmit(&huart2, (uint8_t *)pong, strlen(pong), HAL_MAX_DELAY);

}

}

}

Thanks for your help

Hi,

Is 9600 baud the correct speed for ESP32?

Kind regards
Pedro

Hi,

Of course, if i was not define 9600 also in esp32 then the uart1 also was not worked.

 

This is the code i wrote in the esp32:

 

#include <Arduino.h>
#include <HardwareSerial.h>


#define SerialAT Serial2
void setup() {
  // Start UART1 at 9600 baud
  SerialAT.begin(9600);  // RX -> GPIO16, TX -> GPIO17 (adjust these pins as per your wiring)
  Serial.begin(9600);  // For output to the serial monitor
}

void loop() {
  // Send "PING" to STM32
  SerialAT.print("PING");
  Serial.println("Sent: PING");

  // Wait for "PONG" response from STM32
  if (SerialAT.available()) {
    String response = SerialAT.readString();
    Serial.print("Received: ");
    Serial.println(response);

    // If we receive "PONG", print success
    if (response == "PONG") {
      Serial.println("STM32 replied with PONG!");
    }
  }

  delay(1000);  // Delay for 1 second before sending the next "PING"
}

Hi, maybe the cause is because your clock for USART1 and USART2 is different, for USART1 the clock is form APB1 but for USART2 the clock is from APB2, so the BaudRate is different, you can check it.

You can see in the full code i sent of the stm32: (I  paste here just the part of the clocks)

 

 

void SystemClock_Config(void) {

RCC_OscInitTypeDef RCC_OscInitStruct = {0};

RCC_ClkInitTypeDef RCC_ClkInitStruct = {0};

 

/* Configure the main internal regulator output voltage */

__HAL_RCC_PWR_CLK_ENABLE();

__HAL_PWR_VOLTAGESCALING_CONFIG(PWR_REGULATOR_VOLTAGE_SCALE2);

 

/* Initializes the RCC Oscillators according to the specified parameters */

RCC_OscInitStruct.OscillatorType = RCC_OSCILLATORTYPE_HSE;

RCC_OscInitStruct.HSEState = RCC_HSE_ON;

RCC_OscInitStruct.PLL.PLLState = RCC_PLL_ON;

RCC_OscInitStruct.PLL.PLLSource = RCC_PLLSOURCE_HSE;

RCC_OscInitStruct.PLL.PLLM = 8;

RCC_OscInitStruct.PLL.PLLN = 100;

RCC_OscInitStruct.PLL.PLLP = RCC_PLLP_DIV2;

RCC_OscInitStruct.PLL.PLLQ = 4;

if (HAL_RCC_OscConfig(&RCC_OscInitStruct) != HAL_OK) {

Error_Handler();

}

 

/* Initializes the CPU, AHB and APB buses clocks */

RCC_ClkInitStruct.ClockType = RCC_CLOCKTYPE_HCLK | RCC_CLOCKTYPE_SYSCLK |

RCC_CLOCKTYPE_PCLK1 | RCC_CLOCKTYPE_PCLK2;

RCC_ClkInitStruct.SYSCLKSource = RCC_SYSCLKSOURCE_PLLCLK;

RCC_ClkInitStruct.AHBCLKDivider = RCC_SYSCLK_DIV1;

RCC_ClkInitStruct.APB1CLKDivider = RCC_HCLK_DIV2;

RCC_ClkInitStruct.APB2CLKDivider = RCC_HCLK_DIV1;

 

if (HAL_RCC_ClockConfig(&RCC_ClkInitStruct, FLASH_LATENCY_3) != HAL_OK) {

Error_Handler();

}

}

 

I see now that there is also RCC_ClkInitStruct.APB1CLKDivider = RCC_HCLK_DIV2

 

Do i need to remove it or modifiy it?

Hi, I mean you can modify 'RCC_ClkInitStruct.APB2CLKDivider = RCC_HCLK_DIV2' too (same as APB1), then to try again.

Hi,


The code is the same like uart1, i just changed everything from uart1 to uart2

 

Did you just use find-n-replace "uart1" with "uart2" in main.c ?

Kind regards
Pedro

 

AI = Artificial Intelligence, NI = No Intelligence, RI = Real Intelligence.

actually i asked from chat gpt to change from uart1 to uart2, and then it regenerate the code for uart2

Still no working

hahahaha, that's funny... Good luck!
