I have tried to extend the data sent this way to 60-70 bytes and it still results in them all getting into the same packet! They all wind up in the same TCP transmission.
#Esp8266 serial port app serial
When I send 20 bytes of data in each serial transmission it takes 5.2 ms for them to arrive through the wire. So what I have been able to check now is that if I send a packet of bytes through the serial port in one continuous transmission every 1000 ms, then what is received in the other end is a single TCP packet every second with exactly the packet data. PS: Based on the discussion above it really now seems to be overkill to have a serial buffer of 512 bytes. If it waits for more data then it can potentially affect the flow expected on the client side. It basically boils down into how the tcpServerClient.write() function works inside the library and beyond. Or is the TCP subsystem on an ESP8266 designed to wait for more bytes before actually sending off the package over the network? So will this in turn mean that each byte read from serial will be sent as a single byte payload in a TCP packet to the client?

If all the other checks in the loop() turns out false then the execution time of the loop() itself should be very short and if it just starts over immediately when it finishes, then I guess that all the incoming serial data the code will find in the check above will be either zero or one byte (4 bytes max if loop runs every 1 ms). So my question now is how often loop() gets executed? Is it say a 1 ms loop or is it quicker than that? Given that the serial baud rate is 38400 it means that every single byte takes some 0.26 ms to get through the UART shift register and wind up in the buffer. Obviously this code gets called every time the loop() function runs and it will extract the data that at this time are available in the Serial buffer. TcpServerClient.write((uint8_t*)serbuf, bytesIn) ĭelay(0) //Needed to stop wdt resetting on long operations push UART data to connected telnet client While ((bytesAvail = SerialSS.available()) > 0)īytesIn = SerialSS.readBytes(serbuf, min(sizeof(serbuf), bytesAvail)) In the loop() function there is basically this code section dealing with incoming serial data (there are similar checks for TCP data etc, but mostly loop() has nothing to do: char serbuf //Buffer for serial server OK, then what about the other direction, incoming data on the UART?

Those 128 bytes can fill up quite easily, especially when using low bit rates.

There doesn't seem to be any software write buffer associated to the ESP8266 serial port (except for the hardware FIFO buffer which is 128 bytes).
