Free serial ws ports software for linux

Serial Over IP is a tool for the transport of serial interfaces over UDP/IP. It is very usefull for connecting distant equipment that run via a serial interfaces to a local computer.


One linux will be server and one will be client. On the server you can start the program typing the following command:

bash# serialoverip -d /dev/ttyS0 9600-8n1 -s 127.0.0.1 3000

... and on the client:

bash# serialoverip -c 127.0.0.1 3000 -d /dev/ttyS1 9600-8n1

In both commands the IP address is the server IP. Note that you have to start the server first, and it will be efectively be running only after the first packet received from the client.

slsnif is a serial line sniffer. It listens to the specified serial port and logs all data coming through it. slsnif works transparently for both the device connected to the serial port and the controlling software for this device. It operates by opening a pseudo tty (pty) and linking it to the actual serial port.
slsnif operates by opening a pty and linking it to the serial port. These are following parameters / options:
1. Serial port to open (required).
2. Name of the file to direct output to (optional, defaults to stdout).
3. Desired baudrate (optional, defaults to 9600 baud).
4. Timestamp On/Off (optional, defaults to Off).
5. Print ascii values in hex On/Off (optional, defaults to Off)
6. Print number of bytes transmitted On/Off (optional, defaults to Off).
7. Optional colors for timestamp, number of bytes transmitted and normal output.
8. Lock port On/Off (optional, defaults to On).
9. Use Unix98 ptys instead of BSD ptys (optional, defaults to BSD style).
10. Second serial port to open. If specified, this port will be used instead of a pty, thus providing an ability to log data between two serial ports.
Enhancements:
- Added ability to resynchronize ports at any time by sending a SIGUSR1 signal to slsnif. Useful for debugging applications that change port parameters mid-way, after starting the transmission. One example is pppd daemon, which sets initial parameters in the chat script, and changes them later, after chat script terminates.
- Added ability to use SYSV (Unix98) ptys instead of BSD ones (see -u and --unix98 parameters). This option can also be turned on/off from rc-file.

Parallel Port Make project is a tool to build FreeBSD ports in parallel to fully take advantage of modern multi-core and processor machines.

Default: pportmake.py --clean -- cleanup --install -job=2 [port1] [portn]

Example: pportmake.py irc/irssi irc/epic

Advanced: pportmake.py -rSvD -j 10 irc/irssi

-h --help Show this help usage message
-c --clean Clean port before compiling
-C --cleanup Clean port after compiling
-d --deinstall Deinstall ports, implied by reinstall
-f --force Force a port and all dependancies to be installed
-G --noconfig Dont recursively configure options
-i --install Install port (default)
-j n --jobs=n Number of threads to use, 1 or 2 per CPU core
is recommended
Default is 2
-O args --options=foo List of arguments to pass to make.
E.g. -O -DX11=yes -DFOO
-r --reinstall Reinstall port and ALL dependancies
-S --maxspeed Try and speed up by maximising CPU usuage.
This may break some ports, use with caution
-w --noclean Dont make clean before compiling
-W --nocleanup Dont make clean after compiling
-v --verbose Be extra verbose
-V --version Show version information
-D --debug Show some debugging info
-P --pretend Dont actually alter the ports

NOTES: It is currently only safe to run 1 copy of this and not have other ports compiling simultaneously

Sys::PortIO is a Perl module to perform direct port I/O from Perl.

SYNOPSIS

use Sys::PortIO;

port_open($portnum);
write_byte($portnum, $value);
$value = read_byte($portnum);
port_close($portnum);

This module provides a Perl interface to the low-level port I/O operations provided by Linux, FreeBSD, or OpenBSD. Among other things, this is useful for writing Perl scripts that interface with parallel, serial, or joystick ports.

CelSius Web Script is a C++ written all-new and accurate scripting language, optimized for web, but which can be used with files or directly from command-line. WS stands for Web Script.

Whats New in This Release:

ï¿1⁄2 Speed increases (code cleanup), better string control, POST variables, URL decoding, and the functions readfile, writefile, url_decode, chdir, readdir, interpret, and eval.

serialsnoop is a command-line tool for Linux that echoes bytes to and from any two serial ports, PTYs, or network sockets , and prints all traffic to stdout in hex and ASCII.

to install (binary, debian):

get the latest x86 .deb file and dpkg -i the thing.

to install (from source):

youll need linux. the code uses non-portable linux-isms in the network socket code. this is fixable, but i havent done it yet. for now, its a penguin-only thing.

get the source and untar it.

get my utility header file and put it either in the source tree or somewhere else in your include path

type "make". hopefully it will build for you

"./sersnoop -h" will get you the help. you can specify two fds to listen to: -a and -b. either or both of these can be a network socket, a physical tty, or a virtual pty.

or, on debian systems, to build from source, you can grab the source package files and build from them.

DS1624 parallel port thermometer is a simple driver for a thermometer device based on DS1624 and connected to the computer via one of the parallel ports.
The hardware board is inspired by a project by Christophe G.
Enhancements:
- A parallel port to I2C converter schematic was added.
- The project page was cleaned up.

SAM (Servo Actuation Manipulator) is a GTK+ based X11 application for controlling anywhere from 1 to 254 (so far) servo motors via a serial port connection.
Specifically, this program was made for the Scott Edwards Electronics Mini SSC II.
Enhancements:
- Record panel hide/show works now
- Recording actually works now
- Play control works now
- File->New works now
- Added tooltips to record-frame
- Main window now asks user for hardware settings if none are set
- All controls have descriptive names now (no more, button#)
- Added the TODO file
