Help with c and wiringpi library

wallarug
wallarug over 13 years ago

I need some help writing a TCP server (like the one below) in "c" rather than python.  REASON: I need to write data to my Gertboard through the Raspberry Pi's UART RX/TX GPIO header.  I can't find any examples of how to do the Raspberry Pi GPIO with wiringpi.

 

Below is my current Python Script for writing data to an Arduino ATMEGA connected through the USB port:

 

from time import sleep

import sys

import socket

while True:

    s = socket.socket()         # Create a socket object

    host = '192.168.12.24'          # Get local machine name

    port = 9999                 # Reserve a port for your service.

 

 

 

 

    import serial

    DEVICE = '/dev/ttyACM0' # the arduino serial interface (use dmesg when connecting)

    ##DEVICE = 'COM12'

    BAUD = 9600

    ser = serial.Serial(DEVICE, BAUD)

    try:

        print "Server started on", str(host) + ":" + str(port)

        print 'Waiting for clients...'

    

        s.bind((host, port))        # Bind to the port

        s.listen(5)                 # Now wait for client connection.

        c, addr = s.accept()     # Establish connection with client.

        print 'Got connection from', addr

        while True:

            msg = c.recv(3) # get 3 bytes from the TCP connection

            ser.write(msg)  # write the 3 bytes to the serial interface

            #print msg

            if msg == "":

                c.shutdown(socket.SHUT_RDWR)

                c.close()

                print "Lost connection with"+ str(addr) +"! Restarting server..."

                sleep(2)

                    break

    except KeyboardInterrupt:

        print "[ALERT]  Closing shell...  [ALERT]"

        c.shutdown(socket.SHUT_RDWR)

        c.close()

        ser.close()

        sys.exit("Application forcibly halted!")

 


Is there any way someone can please make me a c version and then incorperate the Gertboard's ATMEGA device?

 

Thanks in advance.

    Taking the teach a man to fish approach, I won't write it for you but I'll point you to some good resources.

     

    For sockets go here : http://www.linuxhowtos.org/C_C++/socket.htm

     

    Real simple client and server that will compile on the pi (cc -o server server.c) and is similar to what you are doing.

     

    I'm surprised that wiringpi doesn't have GPIO examples, I thought that was the whole point. Here seem to be examples of connecting to the GPIO : https://projects.drogon.net/raspberry-pi/wiringpi/examples/

     

    But I think because you want to access the UART, you need to identify what TTY the UART is connected to, then treat it as a regular serial device. I could be incorrect, but I think it is /dev/TTYAMA0 (http://www.simonpainter.com/2012/08/simple-serial-hookup/)

     

    A reference to UNIX serial programming is here : http://www.easysw.com/~mike/serial/serial.html

     

    Although, because it seems you really just need to access the GPIO serial port, having the port identified as TTYAMA0 may be all you need, you can just change your code above to reference that tty and you might be all set.

     

    Keep us informed on how this works out for you.

    One other thing, the simple client and server examples work great on the pi, I compiled the client on one pi and the server on another and it all worked as expected.
