RE: perl serial port program

[Jeff Liu]

Hi Papo,

Thank you very much for your information. I can send to serial port from my
script now. But when I try to read from the port, my script died and showed
"Device::SerialPort Aborted without match". Do you have any idea about how
can I fix the problem? My script is as followed.


#!/usr/bin/perl

use Device::SerialPort;

$port = new Device::SerialPort("/dev/ttyS0");
$port->user_msg(ON);
$port->baudrate(9600);
$port->parity("none");
$port->databits(8);
$port->stopbits(1);
$port->handshake("xoff");
$port->write_settings;

while (1)
{
  $bytein="";
  $port->lookclear;
  $port->write("Feed Me:");
  $port->write("#");

  while ($bytein eq "")
  {
    $bytein = $port->lookfor;
    die "Device::SerialPort Aborted without match\n" unless (defined $data);
    sleep 1;
  }
  print "$bytein\n";
}

$port->close();

I'm using the Device::SerialPort to monitor the logs from our Panasonic
phone system ;)
Take a look at CPAN.

It's as easy as:

use Device::SerialPort;
$port = new Device::SerialPort("/dev/ttyS0");
$port->baudrate(9600);
$port->parity("none");
$port->databits(8);
$port->stopbits(1);
$port->handshake("rts");
$port->write_settings;
while (1) {
  $data = "";
  while (($data = $port->lookfor) eq "") {
    die "Device::SerialPort Aborted without match\n" unless (defined $data);
    select undef, undef, undef, 0.25; # Prevent the program to takeover the
CPU ;)
  }
}

There, in $data you have a line up to the first \n.

HTH.-

Hi there,

I need to cook a perl script talking to /dev/ttyS0, it will be used to
monitor a RAID device via serial port. But even spending the whole day I was
still not lucky enough to be successful. Could you please show me a way to
deal with it?

Many thanks,
Jeff Liu
