Serial::write(String string) throwing java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException

[prsebastian]

In some situations, the above-mentioned method is throwing a StringIndexOutOfBoundsException.

Example:

serial.write( ":VAL\u0000VM\u0000\u0001\u0000\u0001A\u00FF\u00FF\u00FF\u00FF\u00FF\u00FF\u00FFVariableR\n\u00FF\u00FF\u00FF\u00FF\u00FF\u00FF\u00FF\u00FF\u00FF\u00FF\u00FF\u00FF\u00FF\u00FF\u00FF\u00FF\u00FF\u00FF\u00FF\u00FF\u00D0" );

This is by the way the same bug as in Issue 37: #37
which you didn't really fix :) but rather postponed it by not calling write(new String(data)); anymore,
as seen in 8c0ebb5
but the bug itself is not in write(byte[] bytes) but in write(String string).

best regards,
Sebastian.

I have been working on a new serial implementation to properly support a byte level interface for working with the data. I suggest that you try the experimental build 1.1-SNAPSHOT. The serial API is completely overhauled and should provide far better results when working with bytes.

Please let me know if you find any problems ... remember it is very new and experimental :-)

Fixed in 1.1-SNAPSHOT build
