imagej vs. Arduino

[Marcel Krzan]

Hello everybody,

Is it possible to construct better program in Macro for the data exchange
between Arduino and ImageJ?

Ext.write("a");     // send an order to Arduino

wait (7000);         // delay 7 s till the Arduino finish the
necessary performance and send confirmation !!!



data=Ext.read();

if {data == "Z") {   // ImageJ Macro do something

else

{ // ImageJ Macro do something another ....

 My question is directed especially for the line 2 and 3 - how to construct
Macro delay - the program should wait exactly till the data=="Z"

Regards

Marcel Krzan

Yes, Jerome Mutterer was involved in this (although I haven't tried it yet):

Hi Marcel,

check this
http://playground.arduino.cc/Interfacing/Java
to see how a SerialPortEventListener can be implemented.

You can register this type of listener and react on incoming messages
instead of waiting.

Regards,
Peter

Dear Marcel,
you could poll the serial port at shorter intervals and wait for a given
answer to be read.
You can do this with a do/while loop:

data ="";
do {
   data = Ext.read();
   wait(500);
} while ( !startsWith(data,"Z") )

Sincerely,

Jerome.
