This version of PHP Serial has been modernized in as much as errors are throw as catchable exceptions, the class has been namespaced and the native class destructor is utilized to clean up when the class goes out of scope.
It should be backwards compatible with the original version of Xowap/PHP-Serial.
<?php
include 'PhpSerial.php';
use Hyperthese\PhpSerial;
// Let's start the class
$serial = new PhpSerial;
// First we must specify the device. This works on both linux and windows (if
// your linux serial device is /dev/ttyS0 for COM1, etc)
$serial->deviceSet("COM1");
// We can change the baud rate, parity, length, stop bits, flow control
$serial->confBaudRate(2400);
$serial->confParity("none");
$serial->confCharacterLength(8);
$serial->confStopBits(1);
$serial->confFlowControl("none");
try {
// Then we need to open it
$serial->deviceOpen();
// To write into
$serial->sendMessage("Hello !");
}
catch(Exception $e){
die("Uhoh, something didn't work. " . $e->getMessage());
