| DammitJim | how does one send commands to a serial port on a terminal? | 19:23 |
|---|---|---|
| rmcbride | DammitJim: well writing to the port generally, you'd do something like 'stty -F /dev/ttyS0 speed 9600 cs8 -cstopb -parenb | 19:27 |
| rmcbride | echo -n ^R^B > /dev/ttyS0' | 19:27 |
| rmcbride | basically set the port up and just echo the string your command needs to the device | 19:28 |
| DammitJim | oh, cool | 19:28 |
| DammitJim | thanks | 19:29 |
| DammitJim | what is the ^R^B? | 19:29 |
| DammitJim | this device I'm talking to doesn't echo | 19:29 |
| rmcbride | DammitJim: that's just an example command sequence | 19:29 |
| DammitJim | and the -n? | 19:29 |
| DammitJim | nevermind.... I can look that up | 19:29 |
| rmcbride | ah hmm.. | 19:29 |
| rmcbride | yea the -n is just a formatter for echo IIRC | 19:29 |
| DammitJim | weird | 19:30 |
| rmcbride | I wish I could find my old X-10 control scripts for the firecracker serial transmitter | 19:30 |
| rmcbride | probably on one of the old hard drives I just drilled and dumped | 19:30 |
| DammitJim | lol | 19:30 |
| DammitJim | fun! | 19:30 |
| rmcbride | Yea. Getting ready to probably move to Pompano Beach or thereabouts and start working for a company down in south fl | 19:31 |
| DammitJim | when? | 19:31 |
| rmcbride | and I don't need to drag all this stuff down there :) | 19:31 |
| rmcbride | I'll find out soon. Within a couple weeks certainly | 19:31 |
| rmcbride | relocation package is still being negotiated between the company and the agency I'm contracting through | 19:32 |
| rmcbride | once they finish hammering that out, I just need the real estate guy down there to find me an awesome rental, finish packing this place up, and I'm gone. Packing in the mean time. I have a LOT of unused crap I've been dragging around | 19:33 |
