Initialization
#include "SerialPort.hpp"
#include <iostream>
const char *portName = "\\\\.\\COM20";
//Declare a global object
SerialPort *arduino;
int main(void)
{
arduino = new SerialPort(portName);
std::cout << "Is connected: " << arduino->isConnected() << std::endl;
}Sending Data
#define DATA_LENGTH 255
#include "SerialPort.hpp"
#include <iostream>
const char *portName = "\\\\.\\COM20";
//Declare a global object
SerialPort *arduino;
//Here '\n' is a delimiter
const char *sendString = "Hello World\n";
int main(void)
{
arduino = new SerialPort(portName);
if (arduino->isConnected()){
bool hasWritten = arduino->writeSerialPort(sendString, DATA_LENGTH);
if (hasWritten) std::cout << "Data Written Successfully" << std::endl;
else std::cerr << "Data was not written" << std::endl;
}
}Receiving Data
#define DATA_LENGTH 255
#include "SerialPort.hpp"
#include <iostream>
const char *portName = "\\\\.\\COM20";
//Declare a global object
SerialPort *arduino;
char receivedString[DATA_LENGTH];
int main(void)
{
arduino = new SerialPort(portName);
if (arduino->isConnected()){
int hasRead = arduino->readSerialPort(receivedString, DATA_LENGTH);
if (hasRead) std::cout << receivedString << "\n";
else std::cerr << "Error occured reading data" << "\n";
}
}
