Of course. Since 2008.1 there where big number of improvements (thanx to Mirek) and QTF as well as TheIDE Help system is upgraded. I recommend to use Projects > SVN synchronize ability to obtain latest sources and recompile TheIDE.
I use latest SVN sources and manual was developed under latest version.

Hello,

I'm trying to simplify your application (using only methods from tutorial_1-4) to read the temperature of a sensor connected to a micro controller. Here is a picture of this stuff http://quozl.netrek.org/ts/

I have tried the program tsl-1.2.tar.gz in C given by the author (same link above) that run under windows in consolle mode and works OK.
His short code uses the termios lib available under linux.
I would like to replicate it with your library and add a GUI that should even draw a graph during the reading (other three sensors are coming and this increase the fun Smile ).

At the moment I was not able to wake up the micro controller. Please let me ask you if DTR in set ON automatically or I must add "dtr=on" in the comString.

Thanks,
Luigi

I'm try to compile your example Kran,but compiler show a error:

How to fix that?

Sorry, it was a long time since Kran was developed. It looks like ConveyorThread is of much newer version than RS232Thread you use. I'm afraid for now I have no time to support it, as completely new version of RS232 library is under heavy development (it is crossplatform and based on 3rd part lib).

Look it like a VC7.1's RTTI problem.

Hi,

I'm wondering if there was ever any progress made on getting a Linux version to work. I have a serial port class for windows which I didn't post as it seems like it got overtaken by other posts.

Seems like there should be plenty of open-source code out there but I'm not finding it.If I find a way before this gets answered then I'll post what I find.

Nick

I would also like something in U++ to work with serial ports.

The example for sockets is very good and I will be using that.
If something similar for serial ports could be done that would be great.

I have worked with serial ports for GPS data using:

Python with PySerial

Java with rxtx

Windows with:
#using <System.dll>
using namespace System;
using namespace System::IO::Ports;
using namespace System::Threading;
using namespace System::IO;
using namespace std;

I have tried and have the code for wxTerminal but digging through the code and trying to get something to work with U++ is something I have not tried.

Something to work with serial ports for Win and Linux in U++ would be a real plus.

I have a basic serial port package for linux only (sorry) but it works well.
I'll post it as soon as possible

Hi Didier,

That would be great as then its just a case of preprocessor directives to choose between my windows serial code and the linux serial code.

Cheers,

Nick

Hi nixnixnix,

sorry for delay, but I'm missing time.

Here is my very basic serial port package for linux.

There is only open(port, speed)/close and read/read_timed/write.

But with that you can treat 90% of the cases.

Thanks Didier,

Will give it a shot. Am just reading NMEA sentences from GPS so it should be more than I need Smile

Hi Didier,

Works fine although one needs to know of course that the serial ports are named

/dev/ttyS1
/dev/ttyS2

etc.

Also, its more useful to return whether the port is open or not. I will post my modification of your serial port class once I've had time to clean them up but if anyone else wants serial port code, post here and I will pull my finger out.

Nick

It would be good to get this implemented in upp.
Maybe
If win ports = COM7, COM8, ...

If unix ports = /dev/ttyS7, /dev/ttyS8, ...

As posted on 26, January I have used serial ports extensively on Win. Getting something that is cross platform would be great.

Getting rid of the requirement for:
using namespace System::IO::Ports;
and using something that works on Win and Linux.

All the parsing, etc. is no problem.

Hello NL,

Since I red a lot of it in the past that U++ Users request RS232 support I just thaught of trying the challenge.

Several years ago I programmed the RS232 with Visual Basic and had the common problem that most VB Users can code 95% of the features in 10% of the time or so Very Happy

Back then the whole PC was at 100% CPU load, stuck completely and I had data loss packages if I went above 56k Laughing

It was a nightmare and in the end I couldn't solve it with VB since it does not allow threading and stuff.

Anyway because I spent back then a lot of time with RS232 and designed an RS232 Monitoring Program for filtering characters my Idea would be to publish an updated version in C++ for this.
So I could try to get all my knowledge from then into an RS232 Lib for Upp could be a challenge.

Do you have already some code ?
If you are interested I could provide also the old VB Version.

Greetings

Ok here is what I've got. Its clumsy but it works for both Windows and Linux. I have attempted to modify Didier's code to provide a more unified interface but it could be done a lot better.

Basically it does what I need just now and like I say it works on both platforms. My main addition is to provide a common Open function as well as an IsOpen function.

Reini: The code I use just follows after the connection.

For the connection on Win it's System::IO::Ports
With Java it's rxtx
With Python it's PySerial

With your experience and what Nick has maybe something can
be put together that Mirek and others can check and possibly have that included in Upp.

I will look closer at Nick's code, I couldn't find termios.h, is that included in C++ ?

Neil

Hi Nick and others,

I'm happy to see that that you managed to use my linux serial port package and even added the windows support.

It would be a good idea to continue the effort and make a complete management of the serial port, add support for:
- handshake
- parity
- ....

Also, I think it would be a good idea to have SerialConfig struct that would enable easy management of predefined configs.

We could use the port number instead of /dev/tts0 or COM1 to make it fully portable.


I can manage the linux version enhancements, can you manage the windows version ?

What do you think Nick.

Why don't use wxSerial from wxWidgets?

Why don't use wxSerial from wxWidgets?


If there are no links to wxWidgets inside the code that can get very simple to do.
But even if there are some links to wxWidgets, we will probably find some corner cases linked with porting issues that we would also have to resolve.

So taking a look will probably get very instructive.

I'll try to find the time to look at it.

Thank's for the tip

I've just looked at wxSerial.
OK it's a serial port Smile

But I'm not sure the wxWindows license is compatible with the BSD of UPP ?

Anyway a serial port is simple enough to do it without copying it.
