I want to disable DTR (to avoid Arduino 10k autoreset) so I added the following code in php code to get this:

exec ("stty - F /dev/ttyUSB0 -hupcl'";

But it doesn't work: autoreset still works.

How I could disable DTR correctly via software (I use PHP)?

Thanks

An alternative would be to use a modern device / wulfden BBB Rev C without autoreset

http://wulfden.org/TheShoppe/freeduino/bbb.shtml

The BBB Rev C kit sells for $13 and $2 shipping

You may also need a P4B RS232 to TTL adapter ( $5 ), or a BUB USB adapter ( $13 ), or an FTDI cable ( $20 ), if you don't already have one

Or you can build your own RS232 to TTL adapter from parts

"stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0 -hupcl" might work if you put it in an init script

If it doesn't work on USB try a real RS232 port with an RS232 to TTL adapter

Good luck

You have a space between the '-' and the 'F' in that code.  Is that intentional?  Doesn't look right to me...

Thanks Anachrocomputer you can see a lot better than I can

The correct command is

Code:

stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0 -hupcl

You should probably put it in an init script, however it may still not work

The user running the script must have the appropriate permissions to access /dev/ttyUSB0

/dev/ttyUSB0 is usually owner root and group uucp if you followed the arduino instructions

I still think you will probably get better results using a BBB Rev C where you can control autoreset in hardware
