I'm trying to use softwareserial to exchange datas with a sensor. After some tries without any answer from the sensor, I checked the arduino TX with my scope and what I've seen is not what I've sended.
My original byte array (before the setup function):
static byte simple_write[] = {0xfe, 0x41, 0x00, 0x80, 0x01, 0x10, 0x28, 0x7e};
What I got on my scope:
0X77 , 0x61 , 0x69 , 0x74 , ...
Every single sent byte is wrong. I don't understand why. The only thing on the way is a bridge divider to reduce 5V TTL from the arduino to 3,3V CMOS.
If someone have an idea, thanks in advance.
EDIT2: I use IS.MDuino.21+ (ATmega2560)
EDIT: Here are the parts of my code who involve the softwareserial
#include "SoftwareSerial.h"
SoftwareSerial LP8_Serial(1, 0);
static byte simple_write[] = {0xfe, 0x41, 0x00, 0x80, 0x01, 0x10, 0x28, 0x7e}; //Write 0x010 to address 0x0080
void setup(){
LP8_Serial.begin(9600); //Opens the virtual serial port with baud of 9600
}
void loop(){
LP8_val1 = GetDatas_uart();
}
int GetDatas_uart() {
if (first_loop == 0) {
//reset_device(); // includes a 500 msec delay
sendRequest(simple_write, 8, 4); // send to address 0x0080 a 0x10
first_loop = 1;
}
else
sendRequest(write_to_0x20, 8, 4); // send to address 0x0080 a 0x10
delay(2000);
unsigned long valCO2 = getValue(response);
delay(3000);
Serial.println("Now reading 32 bytes"); //sendRequest(read_16_bytes,7,21);
sendRequest(read_32_bytes, 7, 37);
Serial.print("CO2 from 0x9a-0x9b = ");

Serial.print(response[30], HEX);
Serial.print(" = ");
int decimal = 256 * response[29] + response[30];
Serial.print(decimal);
Serial.println("d");
return decimal;
}
void sendRequest(byte packet[], int m, int n)
{
while (!LP8_Serial.available()) //keep sending request until we start to get a response
{
Serial.println("waiting for Software.serial port availability");
LP8_Serial.write(packet, m);

}
int timeout = 0; //set a timeout counter
while (LP8_Serial.available() < n ) //Wait to get a n byte response
{
timeout++;
if (timeout > 10) //if it takes too long there was probably an error
{
while (LP8_Serial.available()) //flush whatever we have
LP8_Serial.read();
break; //exit and try again
}
delay(50);
}
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
