The provided code is missing the declaration of fromVR1
, could you attach the actual code snippet you are running?
from ardity.
Here are the codes. There are some commented parts that I'm currently not using
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <stdio.h>
#include <tchar.h>
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include "SerialClass.h" // Library described above
using namespace std;
int main() {
Serial* VR = new Serial("\\\\.\\COM7");
// Serial* Receiver = new Serial("\\\\.\\COM8");
int input;
char toVR1[] = "K\n";
char toVR2[3];
char fromVR1[2];
char fromVR2[2];
if (VR->IsConnected())
printf("VR is connected\n\n");
/* if (Receiver->IsConnected())
printf("Receiver connected\n\n");*/
toVR2[0] = '1';
toVR2[1] = '\n';
toVR2[2] = '\0';
while (true)
{
cout << "please enter 0 for send, 1 for read, 2 for receive, and 3 for write receiver" << '\n';
cin >> input;
if (input == 0)
{
cout << toVR1;
VR->WriteData(toVR1, 3);
}
else if (input == 1)
{
VR->ReadData(fromVR1, 2);
cout << fromVR1[0] << '\n';
}
/* else if (input == 2)
{
Receiver->ReadData(fromVR2,2);
cout << fromVR2 << '\n';
}
else if (input == 3)
Receiver->WriteData(toVR2, 2);*/
}
return 0;
}

Hi,
I gave it a quick look and the first problem I found was that fromVR1
is declared as a buffer of 2 bytes, but later when you try to print it out with cout
you are expecting it to have a null-terminator in the 3rd byte, which is outside the buffer.
I'm not familiar with that software you mentioned you are using (Eltima nor HDD) so I cannot be of much assistance here.
