Received garbage data onNewData callback

[TiksGanesh]

Hi Team, I am using this library in my project. Connecting with CH340 type of hardware. Connection with hardware and communication is good. But it fails on below scenario

I am using polling mechanism in my application where sending command to hardware with help of SerialInputOutputManager class and writeAsync method.

Failure Scenario

1. onNewData callback I receive garbage data sometimes
2. Response time out and it calls onRunError callback
3. Once exception is thrown on onRunError callback, it does not accept any more command continues to throw exception
4. After step 3, I programatically disconnects and re-connect with hardware.

Suggest me solution, how to avoid above issues?

Implementation at my end

Connection code

 val usbSerialPort = usbSerialDriver.ports[0]
        try {
            usbSerialPort.open(connection)
            usbSerialPort.setParameters(
                9600,
                UsbSerialPort.DATABITS_8,
                UsbSerialPort.STOPBITS_1,
                UsbSerialPort.PARITY_NONE
            )
            usbSerialPort.dtr = true
            usbSerialPort.rts = true
            serialInputOutputManager = SerialInputOutputManager(usbSerialPort, this@SerialCommunicator)
            serialInputOutputManager?.writeTimeout = 2000
            serialInputOutputManager?.readTimeout = 500
            serialInputOutputManager?.readBufferSize = usbSerialPort.readEndpoint.maxPacketSize
            serialInputOutputManager?.start()

override fun onNewData(data: ByteArray?) {
        data?.let {
            val rawData = String(it, StandardCharsets.US_ASCII)
            buildDataFromHardware(rawData)
        }
    }

private fun buildDataFromHardware(rawData: String) {
        stringBuffer.append(rawData)
        val indexOfRCLFChar = rawData.indexOf('\r')
        isCompleteDataReceived = indexOfRCLFChar > 0
        if (isCompleteDataReceived){
            val output = stringBuffer.toString()
            stringBuffer.delete(0, stringBuffer.length)
            isCompleteDataReceived = false
            listener.onData(output, operationType)
            Logger.d(output)
        }
    }

Here are some logs from my application

[kai-morich]

is the baud-rate slightly correct, or slightly different?

[TiksGanesh]

@kai-morich, Baud rate is suggested by hardware team.

Addition Information There is software for windows machine it reads data correctly. It does not throw garbage.
