SmartSerial

This library expand the Arduino Serial Library.

SmartSerial adds some practical functions, which facilitate the output of complex messages over the serial interface.

Easy way to concatenate primitives data types

Example:

#include <Arduino.h>
#include <SmartSerial.hpp>

using namespace utilities;
SmartSerial ss (Serial);

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);

  // example values
  double temp = 24.0;
  bool status = true;
  long time = millis();

  ss << "Temperature: " << temp << " °C" << ", status: " << status;
  ss << ", time: " << time << " ms" << ssEndl;
}

void loop() { }

Output:

Temperature: 24.00 °C, status: 1, time: 61 ms

Use individual outputs formats

You can differentiate between various types of messages.

Example:

#include <Arduino.h>
#include <SmartSerial.hpp>

using namespace utilities;
SmartSerial sDebug (Serial, "Debug/"," -> ");
SmartSerial sError (Serial, "Error/"," # ");


void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
 
  sDebug(SS_FUNC) << 20.0 << "° C" << ssEndl;
  sDebug.disable();
  sDebug(SS_POS) << "some other debug informations" << ssEndl; // will not displayed

  sError(SS_POS) << "Houston, we have a problem." << ssEndl;
}

void loop() { }

Output:

Debug/setup() -> 20.00° C
Error/main.cpp:25 # Houston, we have a problem.
