ARMACOM

ARMACOM provides a framework for ARMA to communicate with Arduinos, Raspberry Pis and any other device that can connect to or emulate a Windows COM port.

The extension that powers ARMACOM and the additional functions it provides are covered in a seperate GitHub here: https://github.com/googleben/ArmaCOM

ARMACOM includes a set of frequenctly used commands. For more advanced usage, see the link to the ARMACOM extension above.

Command Examples:

[] call ARMACOM_fnc_listPorts;                          //list the available COM ports
["COM1"] call ARMACOM_fnc_connect;                      //Connect to COM1
["COM1", 9600, 8, "none", 1] call ARMACOM_fnc_config;   //Configure COM1 to 9600/8N1 (baud rate, data bits, parity bits, stop bits)
["COM1"] call ARMACOM_fnc_useWriteThread;               //Configure to use threaded writes (improves performance if you're performing frequenct write operations)
["COM1", "Message"] call ARMACOM_fnc_write;             //Send the string "Message" to COM1

Commands

Command Arguments Description Return
ARMACOM_fnc_listPorts None Returns a list of available COM ports List of Ports
ARMACOM_fnc_connect portName Connects to the COM port
(9600/8N1 settings default)
true on success, false on failure
ARMACOM_fnc_disconnect portName Disconnects from the COM port true on success, false on failure
ARMACOM_fnc_write portName,message Sends message to COM port true on success, false on failure
ARMACOM_fnc_config portName, baud,data,
parity, stop
Configures COM port None
ARMACOM_fnc_getBaudIndex baudRate Returns the baudRate index needed for a given bitrate baudIndex
ARMACOM_fnc_useWriteThread portName Configures the port to use threaded writes
(Improves performance for frequent writes)
None
