This class provides a simple interface for accessing a serial port.

There are two modes of operation for receiving data: polling (blocking) mode (default) and events (callback) mode.

In polling mode, repeatedly call poll() to detect if data is available, then call one of the read() methods to receive available data. The read() methods can also be called if no data is available, but will block until at least one character can be read.

In event mode the class will start a thread that polls and reads available data from the serial port, and fires the lineReceived event whenever something has been read. Since callback mode uses readLine() to receive entire lines (if possible), delimiter characters and timeout can be set via the "delimiters" (string) and "timeout" (double) properties.

Clients of the class can switch between polling and event mode by enabling or disabling the "events" feature:

setFeature("events", true);

Creates a ISerialDevice.

Destroys the ISerialDevice.

Returns the number of characters available from the internal buffer.

Returns the RTS status.

Returns true if the class is a subclass of the class given by otherType.

Waits for data to arrive at the port.

Returns true immediately if data is already in the internal buffer, or if data arrives during the specified time interval (given in seconds), otherwise false.

Reads a single character from the port.

If the internal buffer is empty, blocks until data arrives at the port.

Reads a characters from the serial port.

Characters will be read until one of the characters specified in delimiters is encountered, or no character is received for the specified timeout (in seconds).

Reads what's currently available from the serial port or internal buffer and returns it in data.

If the internal buffer is empty, blocks until data arrives at the port.

Reconfigures the serial port with the given baud rate and communication parameters.

Baud rate must be one of the following: 50, 75, 110, 134, 150, 200, 300, 600, 1200, 1800, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200 or 230400.

Specify -1 for baudRate to use the currently configured speed. Note that not all platforms support all baud rates.

To specify character size, parity and stop bits, use the parameters argument. The parameters argument must be a three character string. The first character specifies the serial line character width in bits (5, 6, 7 or 8). The second char specifies the parity (N for none, E for even, O for odd) and the third character specifies the number of stop bits (1 or 2). Example: "8N1" for 8 bit characters, no parity, 1 stop bit.

To specify flow control, use the flowControl argument. Specify "none" or an empty string for no flow control. Specify "rtscts" for hardware (RTS/CTS) flow control.

Enable or disable delivery of remote events.

The given Listener instance must implement the Poco::RemotingNG::EventListener interface, otherwise this method will fail with a RemotingException.

This method is only used with Proxy objects; calling this method on a RemoteObject will do nothing.

Returns the TypeId of the class.

Manually sets or clears RTS.

Returns the type information for the object's class.

Writes the given byte to the port.

Writes the given data to the port. Returns the number of characters written.
