Usage
<pre> laptop% ./arduino-serial Usage: arduino-serial -b <bps> -p <serialport> [OPTIONS] Options: -h, --help Print this help message -b, --baud=baudrate Baudrate (bps) of Arduino (default 9600) -p, --port=serialport Serial port Arduino is connected to -s, --send=string Send string to Arduino -S, --sendline=string Send string with newline to Arduino -r, --receive Receive string from Arduino & print it out -n --num=num Send a number as a single byte -F --flush Flush serial port buffers for fresh reading -d --delay=millis Delay for specified milliseconds -e --eolchar=char Specify EOL char for reads (default '\n') -t --timeout=millis Timeout for reads in millisecs (default 5000) -q --quiet Don't print out as much info Note: Order is important. Set '-b' baudrate before opening port'-p'. Used to make series of actions: '-d 2000 -s hello -d 100 -r' means 'wait 2secs, send 'hello', wait 100msec, get reply' </pre>Downloads
