MATLAB: What happens to a string after it is written in serial port using fprintf

fprintfMATLABserialportstring

What will happen if a string is written to a serial port using fprintf? Does the string stays in the serial port unless deleted/flushed? Thanks for answering!

It disappears down the serial connection when transmitted...when/how that happens depends on how the port/connection is configured.

MATLAB: GUI button to initiate serialport object – Impossible

I have figured it out - Not Impossible!

I added the parameter

'Parent',figureGUI,...

to my serialConnectui element

Then inside the callback function for serialConnectui, I used the following to hold onto the serialport object

set(src.Parent, 'UserData' , s)

and inversely, used the following to close the serialport when I was finished. Both callback functions come from different UI elements, but since they share a common Parent called figureGUI, I was able to open and close the serialport from two different callbacks.

set(src.Parent, 'UserData' , [])

MATLAB: Code hangs while writing on a SerialPort

Got the same problem after 2000 times of sucess writeline(), hanging at the waitfor() function without throwing any error.

It is found that, for Matlab 2019b, there is no waitfor(obj, "WriteComplete", true) line in the SerialPort.m file and thus does not has this issue.
