Question: What is going on so I can't use a serial object stored as a Global in an interrupt? (Specifically a "s.BytesAvailableFcn=@mycallback;" callback in case that matters)
I've solved my initial problem, but don't understand 'why' it's working and hope someone can help out. (If this has already been answered well, please help with the link as I couldn't find it)
Problem/Background: A serial object in my main code is used in an interrupt callback every time a termination string is read. The interrupt is set to then read the serial string and write it to a .csv for logging. I tried setting the serial object as a Global as well as trying to pass it as an input. Neither worked and I always got the error:
"Warning: The BytesAvailableFcn is being disabled. To enable the callback property either connect to the hardware with FOPEN or set the BytesAvailableFcn property."
To get around this, I had to "re-define" the serial object in the interrupt with this:
port = dir('/dev/tty.Key*');
s = instrfind('port',['/dev/',port.name]);
