Changes since tio v1.47:
* Add experimental RS-485 support
Many modern RS-485 serial devices such as the ones from FTDI already
operate in RS-485 mode by default and will work with tio out of the box.
However, there are some RS-232/485 devices which need to be switched
from e.g. RS-232 to RS-485 mode to operate accordingly on the physical
level.
This commit implements the switching mechanism and interface required to
enable RS-485 mode. It only works on Linux and with serial devices which
use device drivers that support the Linux RS-485 control interface.
The RS-485 feature is detailed via the following options:
--rs-485 Enable RS-485 mode
--rs-485-config <config> Set RS-485 configuration
Set the RS-485 configuration using the following key or key value pair
format in the configuration field:
RTS_ON_SEND=value Set logical level (0 or 1) for RTS pin when sending
RTS_AFTER_SEND=value Set logical level (0 or 1) for RTS pin after sending
RTS_DELAY_BEFORE_SEND=value Set RTS delay (ms) before sending
RTS_DELAY_AFTER_SEND=value Set RTS delay (ms) after sending
RX_DURING_TX Receive data even while sending data
If defining more than one key or key value pair, they must be comma
separated.
Example use:
$ tio /dev/ttyUSB0 --rs-485 --rs-r485-config=RTS_DELAY_AFTER_SEND=50,RX_DURING_TX
* Add line response feature
Add a simple line response feature to make it possible to send e.g. a
command string to your serial device and easily receive and parse a line
response.
This is a convenience feature for simple request/response interaction
based on lines. For more advanced interaction the socket feature should
be used instead.
The line response feature is detailed via the following options:
-r, --response-wait
Wait for line response then quit. A line is considered any string ending
with either CR or NL character. If no line is received tio will quit
after response timeout.
Any tio text is automatically muted when piping a string to tio while in
response mode to make it easy to parse the response.
--response-timeout <ms>
Set timeout [ms] of line response (default: 100).
Example:
Sending a string (SCPI command) to a test instrument (Korad PSU) and
print line response:
$ echo "*IDN?" | tio /dev/ttyACM0 --response-wait
