Crossplatform library for operating with serial ports in D programming language.

serial-port

Crossplatform library for operating with serial ports in D programming language. Documentation.

Compilation

With dub:

dub build

with make

make

Or, put in your dub.json dependencies:

"dependencies": {
  "serial-port": "~>1.2"
},

To compile tests with dub:

dub build --build=unittest --config=unittest
./serial-port

with make

make test
./serial-port

You should have two serial ports linked to each other (com0com on Windows, socat in linux). For instance, writing to 'COM1' and reading from 'COM2'. On posix you can use socat to create serial port pipe:

socat /dev/ttyS0,raw,echo=0,crnl /dev/ttyS1,raw,echo=0,crnl

serial-port's Issues

no 19200 speed

unsupported speed at https://github.com/NCrashed/serial-port/blob/master/source/serial/device.d#L1029
but if change this file and add 19200 all works fine

Cleanup grammar in exceptions

Here's one:

• Timeout is expires for serial port ... FIXED: Timeout is expired for serial port ...

I didn't find any others in a quick scan that I did.

serial-port-master dub upgrade problem

Dub raises an error when I try to upgrade:

$ dub upgrade
Error executing command upgrade: Untracked file found, aborting package removal: /home/o3o/.dub/packages/serial-port-master/.dub

How to send ubyte data trough the serial port.

Hello,

I am trying to send some byte data to /dev/ttyUSB0

  auto com = new SerialPort("/dev/ttyUSB0");

  ubyte byt1 = 0xFF;
  ubyte byt2 = 0xeF;

  com.write(cast(void[])byt1);
  com.write(cast(void[])byt1);

This gives me Error: cannot cast byt1 of type ubyte to void[]

Also, how do I set the baud rate to 9600 ? I know there is an emun BaudRaute, but how to use it its not dead obvious.

write is not callable

it gives me this error when I try to use the function Write:

Error: function serial.device.SerialPort.write(const(void[]) arr) is not callable using argument types (immutable(char)*)

obviously the constant Void[] is not a valid type, perhaps you meant char[] instead?

Linux GDC compile fails with undefined identifier

Building serial-port 1.1.0+commit.4.gf036724 configuration "library", build type debug.
Running gdc...
source/serial/device.d:1014: error: undefined identifier B57600, did you mean variable B576000?
source/serial/device.d:1092: error: undefined identifier B57600, did you mean variable B576000?

Looking at the source, it seems the mac os x platform definition does the right thing. Do that for Linux.

Posix baud rates are missing some values

Hunting around for the current baud rates, I'm guessing these might be depending on what version of standards are being used.

Read/write timeout

Any chance to have rxTimeout and txTimeout properties? (see http://forum.dlang.org/thread/[email protected])
Thanks

How can i read all the serial buffer

Hi,
I'm trying to read all the content of the serial port.
However I don't know the message length which could be variable.

Using a large array like ubyte[2048], the serial device throws a serial.device.TimeoutException.
Thank you very much for your efforts!
