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, write and readline methods from its more full-featured cousin, the serialport Ruby library.
- IronRuby.
- Mono or .NET.
igem install oatmeal, or just put serialport.rb somewhere in your LOAD_PATH.
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
