scanf() rush through

[rdson@esp]

Hi there,

I thought to use the scanf() function to get the user's choice from a displayed menu over the UART0 but it doesn't stop at the scanf() function to wait for a user input... and simply rushes endlessly the while(1) loop executing the default from the switch case.

Why? I went through this interessting post http://sekrit.de/webdocs/c/beginners-gu ... scanf.html but couldn't fix my issue though...

Code: Select all

while(1){
	
	int choice = 0;
	
	... some printf() ...
	
	printf("Your choice:");
        scanf("%1d", &choice);

        switch(choice){

            case 1:						// Lists files and folders of SD card
                list_sd_data();
                printf("Hit any key to go back");
                scanf( %*d");
                break;

            default:
                printf("Yet not implemented\n");
                break;

        }
}

I have the same problem. I also tried fgets() with the same result. Does anybody know the reason for that?

This is the code:

Code: Select all

#include <stdio.h>
#include "freeRTOS/freeRTOS.h"
#include "FreeRTOS/task.h"
#include "driver/gpio.h"
#include "sdkconfig.h"
#include "driver/uart.h"

#define TX_PORT_NUM GPIO_NUM_43
#define RX_PORT_NUM GPIO_NUM_44
#define RTS_PORT_NUM GPIO_NUM_15
#define CTS_PORT_NUM GPIO_NUM_16

#define BUF_SIZE (128)


void app_main(void)
{    
    // UART-Konfiguration
    const uart_port_t uart_num = UART_NUM_0;         

    uart_config_t uart_config = {                  
        .baud_rate = 19200,
        .data_bits = UART_DATA_8_BITS,
        .parity = UART_PARITY_DISABLE,
        .stop_bits = UART_STOP_BITS_1,
        .flow_ctrl = UART_HW_FLOWCTRL_DISABLE,
    };

    
    ESP_ERROR_CHECK(uart_param_config(uart_num, &uart_config)); 
    ESP_ERROR_CHECK(uart_set_pin(uart_num, TX_PORT_NUM, RX_PORT_NUM, RTS_PORT_NUM, CTS_PORT_NUM)); 
    ESP_ERROR_CHECK(uart_driver_install(uart_num, 2*BUF_SIZE, 0, 0, NULL, 0));
    
    while(1)
    {

        char name[40];
        printf("What's your name? ");
        if (fgets(name, 40, stdin))
        {
            printf("Hello %s!\n", name);
        }
        
    }
}

And this is the serial output of my ESP32-S2-SOLO (I didn't copy all the repetitions):
