DESCRIPTION:
packet_io is a small library that makes it easy to define packet based protocols over a serial link (RS232) in a declarative fashion.
SYNOPSIS:
require 'packet_io'
# define your protocol handler, inheriting from PacketIO::Base
#
# override `read` and `write` to implement your functionality
#
# this is a simple protocol handler that does nothing.
#
# see {PacketIO::LineBasedProtocol} for another trivial example
#
class MyNOPProtocol < PacketIO::Base
def receive(packet)
forward(packet)
end
def write(data)
super(packet)
end
end
# use your protocol. It is possible to stack multiple protocol
# layers on top of each other
#
stream = PacketIO.IOListener(File.open("/dev/ttyUSB0"))
line_based = PacketIO::LineBasedProtocol.new(stream)
my_protocol = MyNOPProtocol.new(line_based)
stream.run!
INSTALL:
gem install packet_io
