Windows <-> Arduino C++ Library

Using Arduino Interfacing w/ Software on the Computer
2

Did some updates today to make interfacing with COM ports easier. Now WindowsSerial class mimics the Arduino Serial class even further. For instance if you are trying to access a COM port less than 31, you can simply call

Serial<COM_PORT_NUMBER>.begin(<BAUD>);

To initialize the "serial" port.

ALSO, I've added print() and println() functionality.

Here is the updated example C++ code (Arduino echo sketch doesn't change):

#include "pch.h"
#include <iostream>
#include "ArduSerial.h"



std::string data = "hi";




void setup()
{
 // Serial27 means access Arduino on COM27 ***************
 Serial27.begin(115200);

 std::cout << "Starting..." << std::endl;

 while (!Serial27.connected());

 while (Serial27.available())
   Serial27.read();

 std::cout << "Connected" << std::endl;
}




void loop()
{
 std::cout << "Sending data: " << data << std::endl;
 Serial27.println(data);

 std::cout << "Looking for echo..." << std::endl;
 while (Serial27.available() < data.length());

 std::cout << "Found the following echo:" << std::endl;
 while (Serial27.available())
   printf("%c", Serial27.read());

 std::cout << std::endl << "Waiting before transmitting again..." << std::endl;
 Sleep(1000);
}




int main()
{
 setup();

 while (true)
   loop();

 return 0;
}
