Detailed Description

Low-level communication class to access a serial port on Cygwin and Linux.

Low-level communication class to access a serial port on VCC Windows.

Definition at line 84 of file rs232-cygwin.h.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

cRS232::cRS232	(	int	_port,
		unsigned long	_baudrate,
		double	_timeout,
		char const *	_device_format_string = `"/dev/ttyS%d"`
	)

Constructor: constructs an object to communicate with an SDH via RS232

Parameters

_port	- rs232 device number: 0='COM1'='/dev/ttyS0', 1='COM2'='/dev/ttyS1', ...
_baudrate	- the baudrate in bit/s
_timeout	- the timeout in seconds
_device_format_string	- a format string (C string) for generating the device name, like "/dev/ttyS%d" (default) or "/dev/ttyUSB%d". Must contain a d where the port number should be inserted. This char array is duplicated on construction

Definition at line 107 of file rs232-cygwin.cpp.

cRS232::cRS232	(	int	_port,
		unsigned long	_baudrate,
		double	_timeout,
		char const *	_device_format_string = `""`
	)

Constructor: constructs an object to communicate with an SDH via RS232

Parameters

_port	- rs232 device number: 0='COM1'='/dev/ttyS0', 1='COM2'='/dev/ttyS1', ...
_baudrate	- the baudrate in bit/s
_timeout	- the timeout in seconds
_device_format_string	- ignored for this VCC version

Bug:

The binary communication introduced in firmware 0.0.2.15 and SDHLibrary-C++ 0.0.2.0 did not work properly on Linux when RS232 was used for communication.

ssize_t cRS232::Read	(	void *	data,
		ssize_t	size,
		long	timeout_us,
		bool	return_on_less_data
	)

virtual

Read data from device. This function waits until max_time_us us passed or the expected number of bytes are received via serial line. if (return_on_less_data is true (default value), the number of bytes that have been received are returned and the data is stored in data If the return_on_less_data is false, data is only read from serial line, if at least size bytes are available.

Implements cSerialBase.
