Testing connection of a device

Post by dudero »

Hello,

I want to test if a device is connected.
In my case it`s a UART device which is connected to my PC via a RS232 interface.
And I am accessing it by port address:
"/dev/ttyS0"(Linux).

But later this should be generic, because the program should be run under different operating systems.

Does have anybody an idea how could it be realized with wxWidgets?

hi dudero,

you can try wxCTB

http://wxcode.sourceforge.net/showcomp.php?name=wxCtb

there is a wxSerialPort object included, should be portable.

Otherwise, i will easily write my own ComPort object, with some #ifdefs.

greetings,

Thx spectrum,

I have tried it, but I get a error at make process:

Code: Select all

How can I solve this?

I have fixed it with a self implemented testConnection method :wink:
