UART communication between Raspberry Pi 4 and stm32f411re

[suhfi]

Hi, i want the communication between stm32f411re board and raspberry pi 4. i tried to do with uart2 through USB cable it is working fine. but sometimes it is not able to communicate properly. there is a delay while communicating sometimes. will i2c or spi communication works with USB cable to communicate. which is better and i want the one efficient to work as i want both ways communication.

There no inherent reason why that should happen with a UART connection.

You need to find out what's causing this delay - it must be something elsewhere in your system.

Changing to some other transport won't fix that.

 

Have you tried using the Raspberry Pi's hardware UART ?

Please give more details of that.

I assume you mean a USB-to-UART cable/adaptor somewhere?

No, i didn't do the communication by connecting the gpio pins, but from the usb cable. there is a delay for sure. i didn't mention any delay with that, then why am i facing delay with the comunication.

Again, you need to give more details.

How, exactly, are you making this USB connection?

Show a schematic.

Post photographs.

What, exactly, is the "stm32f411re board" you are using?

Is it still the same as this:

Need to clarify this statement. From which side? STM32 delays the transmit or Raspberry-Pi?

Indeed.

@suhfi Also, how much of a delay is it?

How do you observe this delay?

We've been through this before:

So what's changed now?

Thank you for the replies, i did solve the problem.

Great - so, for the benefit of future readers, what was the problem?

Please describe how you solved it, and then mark that as the solution:

Okay sure, the problem is with the delay in the communication of stm32 Nucleo board and raspberry pi through UART. but later i have understood that the delay is not with the communication but with the motors drivers and working of that. Thank you for your time.
