Serial.availableForWrite()
Description
Get the number of bytes (characters) available for writing in the serial buffer without blocking the write operation.
Syntax
Serial.availableForWrite()
Parameter Values
- Serial: serial port object. See the list of available serial ports for each board on the Serial main page.
Return Values
- The number of bytes available to write.
Example Code
String myString = "Welcome to ArduinoGetStarted.com!\n";
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600); // opens serial port, sets data rate to 9600 bps
int wlen = Serial.availableForWrite();
// prints the received data
Serial.print("TX buffer size: ");
Serial.println(wlen);
}
void loop() {
// check if Tx buffer is enough to write the string
if (Serial.availableForWrite() > myString.length()) {
// prints the string
Serial.print(myString);
delay(1000);
}
}
- The result on Serial Monitor:
COM6
TX buffer size: 63
