[英]Inputting a single String/Char into Serial Monitor
I'm having issues with inputting a string/character into the serial monitor, and I'm a beginner at programming therefore I don't know how to solve it. 我在串行监视器中输入字符串/字符时遇到问题,并且我是编程的初学者,因此我不知道如何解决它。
I have an if/else statement which works like a switch case statement. 我有一个if / else语句,它类似于switch case语句。 I did begin with a switch case but I was developing a lot of problems with it, one being inputting a string/character (A, S, M, D, P) to point to each case. 我确实从切换用例开始,但是我正在开发很多问题,一个问题是输入一个字符串/字符(A,S,M,D,P)以指向每种情况。 I know a switch case is for ints so I gave up and moved on to multiple if/else statements. 我知道int的转换情况是这样,所以我放弃了,转而使用多个if / else语句。
I have tried (in void loop()), 我已经尝试过(在void loop()中)
char theOperator = dataInput();
if (theOperator == 'A') {
// If input is equal to 1, carry out function 'addition()'
addition();
}
but it displays the error message I have in the 'addition' function. 但它会显示“添加”功能中的错误消息。
Here is where the code for the input is used (globally defined), 这是输入代码的使用位置(全局定义),
char theOperator;
char dataInput() {
while (!Serial.available()) {
// Wait for the user to enter value
}
return Serial.parseInt();
}
I have tried similar things like Serial.read(), but this either loops the start of my program and does not allow me to input a value, or it just won't take the value at all. 我已经尝试过类似Serial.read()的操作,但是这或者循环了程序的启动并且不允许我输入值,或者根本就不会接受该值。
Any help would be appreciated, I will post my full code below so that you might understand my program (the issue of the if/else etc is at the top). 任何帮助将不胜感激,我将在下面发布我的完整代码,以便您可以理解我的程序(if / else等问题位于顶部)。
*EDIT: Forgot to mention, I can do something like, *编辑:忘了提,我可以做类似的事情,
char theOperator = dataInput();
if (theOperator == 1) {
// If input is equal to 1, carry out function 'addition()'
addition();
}
And this works. 这可行。 However I want it to take A, S, M, D, or P instead of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. 但是我希望它取A,S,M,D或P而不是1,2,3,4,5。

In your char dataInput()
function you are taking the serial input with Serial.parseInt()
which when inputting 'A' parseInt will return 0. See the documentation . 在char dataInput()
函数中,您要使用Serial.parseInt()
进行串行输入,当输入'A'时parseInt将返回0。请参见文档 。 In order to read a char use Serial.read()
to get a single character. 为了读取字符,请使用Serial.read()
获取单个字符。
void loop() {
Serial.println ("Enter your chosen operator");
Serial.println ("A for Addition, S for Subtraction, M for Multiplication,");
Serial.println ("D for Division, and P for Potentiometer: ");
// Takes an input from the user
char theOperator = Serial.read();
switch(theOperator) {
case 'A':
// If input is equal to 1, carry out function 'addition()'
addition();
break;
case 'S':
// If input is equal to 2, carry out function 'subtraction()'
subtraction();
break;
case 'M':
// If input is equal to 3, carry out function 'multiplication()'
multiplication();
break;
case 'D':
// If input is equal to 4, carry out function 'division()'
division();
break;
case 'P':
// If input is equal to 5, carry out function 'potentiometer()'
potentiometer();
