How use fprintf or fputs to send a zero hexadecimal.

[jesusayala]

i'm trying to send to serial port the next 

char data[] = {0x02, 0xa3, 0x08, 0x00, 0xab}; 

fprintf(serial_fd,  string); 

But only the three first bytes was send. If change the 0x00 for other value all data is sent. 

I think that the fprintf takes the 0x00 as a end of line.  How i can send the 0x00 value using fprint or fputs function?

Hello Jesus,

In fact if you are using "string" to send the information in the fprintf, you are going to loose the data of your array since the end of string is the NULL character which it is 0x00.

You need to send the byte to byte in a single loop to send all the data from the array

Have a great day,
Sol

How about using write() function instead?

See section 2.3 and 2.9.4 of I/O Drivers User's Manual for more information.
