Is it possible to open the serial port in canonical mode ?
Hello,
I just developped a new driver for MRPT. A driver for a gyro (the KVH DSP 3000).
To develop this driver I need to open a serial communication with the device. At the begining of the driver development, I use the MRPT class : hwdrivers::CSerialPort. But, (on linux) this class open the serial port in NON CANONICAL mode, and my driver is very easiest to wrote in canonical mode. I look into the source of CSerialPort, and I can't find an easy way to open the port in canonical mode.
I decide to create a serial port in my driver class using POSIX call, backwards of doing this are :
1 - More code lines,
2 - Only POSIX compatible.
My question is :
Is there an easy way to force CSerialPort::Read to return after a "new line" (\n) character ?
If that is not possible, I will publish my driver as is (only posix compatible).
Regards,
A.BARRAL
Hi, I just saw your commit,
Hi,
I just saw your commit, thanks for the work! Seems a pretty cool Gyro, by the way...
Although a bit late, I just added (it's in SVN HEAD) a new method to CSerialPort named "ReadString()" that should do what you want.
It would be great if you could try it to allow the driver to work on Windows too :-)
Best,
