I have two Teensy 3.2's connected through Xbee in AT transparent mode, I can see commands come through on the Teensy connected to my laptop in the arduino serial monitor coming from my battery powered Teensy which has four push buttons connected using pullup resistors, but when I try to run an if else if statement from the Serial1 string the on Teensy connected to my laptop receiving the serial data in the Teensy only acts on the else if statement and only sends out the MIDI notes for usb.MIDINoteOff and it doesn't send the usb.MIDINoteOn also it is sending all three of the MIDI notes off commands at the same time, I am including a screenshot of a program called MIDI monitor it will be next to an open serial monitor that shows it is receiving the char I am sending to Serial1 I am holding the button down for a few seconds each time and each time I press or release the button for button 1, 2, and 4, in the example it sends all three note off messages for MIDI notes C3, D3 and E3. Am I using the if else statement incorrectly or is the problem possibly with the way I am reading the char data? I am lost and have been wracking my brain trying to figure out why it will not work. I have the Xbee's connected to the Teensy's in Pins 0&1 for Serial1 on both I am including the schemating for the Teensy I have that is used for note input. I running on Mac OS x 10.11.5 Arduino IDE v1.6.8 and Teensyduino 1.28 both Teenys's in MIDI board mode. I am including both sketches in this post. They will both be prefaced by bold font. I would be appreciative if anyone can see what I am doing wrong, or has any suggestions.

Thank you.

Welcome to the forum Ryan,

Everytime you call HWSERIAL.read() your program reads the oldest value recieved by HWSERIAL, returns it and then deletes it. This is the basic principle of FIFO (first in first out)

So say you send 'a'

If you do this on the recieve side: if (HWSERIAL.read() == 'b') {}
This returns 'a' but by reading it we have removed this value from the HWSERIAL FIFO

Now later on when we do: else if (HWSERIAL.read() == 'a') {}
The program will hang until a new character is received

What you want to do is only call the read once. Store the value in a variable. Then use that variable to compare against:
Code:
char incomingCommand = HWSERIAL.read();

if(incomingCommand == 'b') {

} else if (incomingCommand == 'a') {

}


Just my two cents here but I recommend you use a switch case block to make your code more readable:
Code:
char incomingCommand = HWSERIAL.read();

switch(incomingCommand) {
    case 'a' :
          // Process 'a'
          break;
    case 'b' :
          // Process 'b'
          break;
    case default:
          // Unknown Command!
          break;
}

On yet another side note your commands come in like this where C is a command
C/nC/nC/nC/nC/n
Currently your code will miss out that first C command as it is waiting for a /n. Use Serial.print() instead of Serial.println() on the sender side and don't bother with the new line stuff. This will double your bandwidth and simplify your code

Thank you for the response, I tried changing the sending Teensy to only have Serial1.print but when I took the ln off it no longer sent through serial, or sent the usb.MIDI command? Is there anything else I would need to do? With the serial I tried to change the char incomingCommand = HWSERIAL.read my serial monitor went blank I am including the code from the receive Teensy is this like what you meant? In regards to writing a switch case could write multiple cases with processes to keep going from a-m?
Thank you for the help.

Thank you for the help that looks much cleaner, when I compiled and uploaded the sketch I lost serial communication on the receiving Teensy, is there anything on the sending sketch I would need to edit in order to work with the updated switch case sketch you posted?

Thank you.
Ryan
 
Here is the latest of my sender source, I tried editing it like you suggested to remove the ln from Serial1.println to only be Serial1.print and I lost serial communication. Is the updated sketch you sent dependent on me using just print instead of println, I would like to increse the bandwidth that sounds awesome. This code is based off of the Teensy sketch Buttons to MIDI with the serial parts added to it, I think that might be where I am making the errors.

Thank you

I can't see anything wrong with your code. Here's what I feel should work though:

Code:
#include <Bounce.h>

#define HWSERIAL Serial1

Bounce button2 = Bounce(2, 10);
Bounce button3 = Bounce(3, 10);
Bounce button4 = Bounce(4, 10);
Bounce button5 = Bounce(5, 10);

void setup() {

  pinMode(2, INPUT_PULLUP);  // C3
  pinMode(3, INPUT_PULLUP);  // D3
  pinMode(4, INPUT_PULLUP);  // E3
  pinMode(5, INPUT_PULLUP);  // F3

  HWSERIAL.begin(38400);

}

void loop() {

  // C3
  if(button2.update()) {
     if(button2.fallingEdge()) {
        HWSERIAL.print('a');
     } else if (button2.risingEdge()) {
        HWSERIAL.print('i');
     }
  }

  // D3
  if(button3.update()) {
     if(button3.fallingEdge()) {
        HWSERIAL.print('b');
     } else if (button3.risingEdge()) {
        HWSERIAL.print('j');
     }
  }

  // E3
  if(button4.update()) {
     if(button4.fallingEdge()) {
        HWSERIAL.print('c');
     } else if (button4.risingEdge()) {
        HWSERIAL.print('k');
     }
  }

  // F3
  if(button5.update()) {
     if(button5.fallingEdge()) {
        HWSERIAL.print('d');
     } else if (button5.risingEdge()) {
        HWSERIAL.print('l');
     }
  }

}
