readUint16()

Description

Reads a 16-bit unsigned integer from the serial port

• Blocks execution until 2 bytes are available

• Reads the bytes, combines them into a uint16 and returns it.

Syntax

myInt = readUint16()

Parameters

None

Returns

• myInt: an unsigned short or uint16_t read from the serial port.

Example

// This code reads an incoming uint16 from MATLAB

#include "ArCOM.h" // Include ArCOM library

ArCOM serialPort(SerialUSB); // Create serial port object

unsigned short myInt = 0; // Create a uint16

void setup() {

SerialUSB.begin(115200); // Initialize USB serial port

}

void loop() {

myInt = serialPort.readUint16(); // Read an incoming uint16

}
