UART callback to return received value to initiating function?

[Sensors]

I'm trying to communicate with a device over UART, and I'd like to return the response to my commands back to the function the transmission came from.

For example, I want to transmit a simple "AT" over UART and expect to receive the response "OK", but I'd like to check that response within the same function I send the command from, ideally without polling.

Right now my UART callback handler is in main.c, and the functions that send the commands are in another c file, which may or may not have an impact on how this should be done...

So is there any good way to go about this?

See answer in this thread.

Hi your provided thread and @awneil 's link is pointing at the same link, both of which does not provide a solution.

So why are you waking this up after 2 years?

The OP never bothered to respond with any clarification, nor confirmation of whether Kristin 's suggestion worked for her/him.

Hi awneil,

I am sorry if my post gave you trouble, I was actually doing something similar to @sensors and saw this thread, In which your response lead me to a  loop of threads which were just pointing out each other with no relevant answers.
