writeUint16()

Description

Writes a 16-bit unsigned integer to the serial port

• Breaks the 16-bit integer into two bytes

• Sends the two bytes in the order MATLAB / Octave expects.

Syntax

writeUint16(unsigned short myInt)

Parameters

• myInt: a 16-bit unsigned integer of type unsigned short or uint16_t.

Returns

None

Example

// This code writes a uint16 to the serial port for MATLAB to read

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

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

unsigned short myInt = 23323; // Create a uint16

void setup() {

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

}

void loop() {

serialPort.writeUint16(myInt); // Send the uint16 to MATLAB

}
