Types

type Config

type Config struct {
	// Device path (/dev/ttyS0)
	Address string
	// Baud rate (default 19200)
	BaudRate int
	// Data bits: 5, 6, 7 or 8 (default 8)
	DataBits int
	// Stop bits: 1 or 2 (default 1)
	StopBits int
	// Parity: N - None, E - Even, O - Odd (default E)
	// (The use of no parity requires 2 stop bits.)
	Parity string
	// Read (Write) timeout.
	Timeout time.Duration
	// Configuration related to RS485
	RS485 RS485Config
}

Config is common configuration for serial port.

type Port

type Port interface {
	io.ReadWriteCloser
	// Connect connects to the serial port.
	Open(*Config) error
}

Port is the interface for controlling serial port.

func New

func New() Port

New allocates and returns a new serial port controller.

func Open

func Open(c *Config) (p Port, err error)

Open opens a serial port.

type RS485Config

type RS485Config struct {
	// Enable RS485 support
	Enabled bool
	// Delay RTS prior to send
	DelayRtsBeforeSend time.Duration
	// Delay RTS after send
	DelayRtsAfterSend time.Duration
	// Set RTS high during send
	RtsHighDuringSend bool
	// Set RTS high after send
	RtsHighAfterSend bool
	// Rx during Tx
	RxDuringTx bool
}

platform independent RS485 config. Thie structure is ignored unless Enable is true.
