Description
Returns the number of bytes available to be read from the ArCOM serial port buffer
Values returned by Arduino remain in a buffer until they are read with ArCOM('read'...)
Syntax
BytesAvailable = ArCOM('bytesAvailable', Port)
Parameters
Port: An ArCOM serial port struct, created with ArCOM('open'...)
Returns
BytesAvailable: The number of bytes available to be read.
Example
% 1. This loop spams the command window with a message until 10 bytes are available in the serial port buffer. Then, the bytes are read out and displayed as ASCII characters.
while ArCOM('bytesAvailable', MyPort) < 10
disp('Waiting...');
end
disp(char(ArCOM('read', MyPort, 10, 'uint8')));
