Oatmeal

Oatmeal, “Just enough Iron in your Serial,” is a Ruby library that provides a minimal wrapper around the .NET System.IO.Ports API for IronRuby_. It mimics the “read“ and “write“ methods from its more full-featured cousin, the serialport_ Ruby library.

Prerequisites

---

1. IronRuby.

2. Mono or .NET.

Installation

---

“igem install oatmeal“, or just put “serialport.rb“ somewhere in your “LOAD_PATH“.

Usage

---

Sample code

require ‘serialport’

port = SerialPort.new ‘/dev/ttyUSB0’, 9600, 8, 1, SerialPort::NONE port.read_timeout = 1000

begin

port.write 'something'
puts port.read

ensure

port.close

end
