评论： Walter Roberson 2025-7-19

I'm using USB connected Arduino device and have the following line:

configureCallback(app.PicoCom,"terminator",@app.PicoInput);

The function app.PicoInput does it's job, but I would like it to complete before going back to the main program. If a function has a component that calls it then the function will be the "callback area" of the app and the component has callback execution control. Since this function is called by an interrupt and is set up by startupFcn(app) it doesn't have a component. How can I make it non-interruptable without messing with flags and mutex?

The secrets to making a function uninterruptible is:

write the code all on one line. MATLAB checks for interrupts at the beginning of each line of code, so if you write it all on one line then there will be no opportunity to interrupt
write the code entirely in terms of built-in functions. You might have prevented interrupts by writing all on one line, but if what you are calling is MATLAB code that was written on multiple lines then MATLAB will be checking for interrupts at the beginning of those lines.
do not call pause() or uifigure() or figure() or uiwait() or waitfor() or drawnow()

It's a bit long to put all on one line (even if I delete comments. But it turns out it doesn't take long so I guess that's not the problem.

...04>@(varargin)app.PicoInput(varargin{:}) 92 0.109 s 0.002 s

(Go back to lag question 2178493-random-lags-while-running-app )

function PicoInput(app,src,~) 
% check if there is more than 1 line. For some reason I don't get another callback!!!
  while (app.PicoCom.NumBytesAvailable>0)
    raw = readline(src); 
    if size(char(raw),2) == 0 
        return;         % This should never happen, but it does!
    end
    ch = char(raw);  % apparently a read line is a string, make it chars
    if (ch(1:1)=='#')    % A debug line from Pico,
        AddDebugText(app,raw); % if DEBUG is on the text will display
% V85 special cases, H ws there, adding V for Odor Test light off
        if ch(2:2)=='V' % Valve test finished
            if app.OdorTestButton.Value
                app.OdorTestButton.Value = 0; % Turn off
                OdorTestButtonValueChanged(app);
            end
        end
        if ch(2:2)=='H'  % #Help! ..Pico not connected correctly
            AddDebugText(app,"Restarting Pico");

                write(app.PicoCom,"x2",'char');   % try rebooting too
            catch

        end
        return;
    else % Important data to be saved?
    % char2num is easy just num = char('x'); but other direction....
        app.PicoType = double(ch(1:1));  % first char always "type" an ascii char
        app.PicoType = uint8(app.PicoType);   % Convert to uint8
        app.PicoData = str2double(ch(2:end)); % numeric data starts at second char
        app.PicoData = uint32(app.PicoData); % save as integer

        return;

    if (app.status == 2) || (app.status == 3)  % Running (finishing) a trial?
%  V27 SAVE THIS IN THE IN BUFFER during trial and  V28 for "stopping too
% zzz ToDo probably don't need my own input buffer, let USB driver handle it???
% V2.9 add buffer overrun check (Might only be during debug??)

if (app.status == 2) || (app.status == 3) % Running (finishing) a trial?

It is not obvious that app.status is defined at that point.

            app.InBuffer(app.InPtr,1) = app.PicoType;
            app.InBuffer(app.InPtr,2) = app.PicoData;

It is not obvious that app.InBuffer has been defined at that point.

Those are two different data types. If app.InBuffer has not been defined before this, then app.InBuffer will be initialized to the first type assigned to it, which would be uint8. You would need to initialize to uint32 to fit app.PicoData

if ch(2:2)=='H' % #Help! ..Pico not connected correctly

It bugs me that that is not an "elseif" ;-)
