Building

Implemented and tested on:

Platform OS compiler
Linux Ubuntu 20.04.1 WLS2 gcc version 9.3.0 (Ubuntu 9.3.0-10ubuntu2)
Windows Windows 10.0.19043 gcc version 11.2.0 (MinGW-W64 x86_64-posix-seh)
Raspberry Pi Linux raspberrypi 5.10.17 gcc version 8.3.0 (Raspbian 8.3.0-6+rpi1)

LINUX

  • CLIENT - gcc client.c -Wall -Werror -Wextra -o client
  • SERVER - gcc server.c rs232.c -Wall -Werroe -Wextra -o client

WINDOWS

  • CLIENT - gcc client.c -Wall -Wextra -lwsock32 -o client
  • SERVER - gcc server.c rs232.c -lwsock32 -Wall -Werror -Wextra -o client

Launch

Server

Server can be launched with 1 or 2 input parameters. The number of parameters determines what mode will be used - manual or automatic mode.

port - specific number to identify communication processes of server

config_file - configuration file with exact name of variables

  • Manual mode - server waits for input commands from client, sends them to laser sensor and returns results back to client
  • ./server <port>
  • Automatic mode - server loads variables from configuration file config.txt, starts measuring and sends results to client continuously.
  • ./server <port> [config_file]

Client

Client has to be lauched with 2 input parameters.

IP address - IP address of server the client tries to connect

port - port number of server

Demo

No input parameters.

Macros defines multiple variables used in demo program, which demonstrates connection to server in automatic mode and process of resulting data.

#define IP_ADDRESS "192.168.0.101"	// IP address of server
#define PORT 32500			// server port number
#define MAX_VALUE 1265			// upper limit (depends on used units)
#define MIN_VALUE 1200			// lower limit (depends on used units)
