Frame delimiters in hexadecimal format

[SaturnNitrik]

Hello,

In the Project Editor, is it possible to set delimiters with hexadecimal values instead of ASCII ?
If yes, what format is expected ? I tried some without success.

And as bonus, what about a hexa chain as delimiter ?

Hi!

This feature isn’t supported yet, but I do plan to add it soon. The actual implementation isn’t too complex — the delay is mostly due to upcoming licensing changes. Serial Studio will soon be available under both GPL3 and a professional license, and that’s taking some time to sort out. I’ll let you know as soon as the feature is in.

In the meantime, a quick workaround is to use an ASCII table and manually map the corresponding letter/number sequence to your hexadecimal bytes. Just keep in mind this only works for printable characters (0x21 to 0x7E probably).

Appreciate the suggestion, thanks!

Hi,

Thanks for the answer.
I actually need to watch non-printable characters, I will find a work-around.

Hi! Quick update. As of the latest commit, you can now enable hexadecimal frame delimiters directly in the project editor.

I’ve also updated the HexadecimalADC example with the relevant code and a project file to help users get started.

You can toggle the feature in the project title/settings section:

It’s available in the latest continuous build. Feel free to try it out, and let me know if you run into any issues.

Thanks!
