6.6.8 Adding a Serial Device
The Serial device is used to be able to manage incoming and outgoing messages over a serial
port. It is a new feature that allows the user to control or interact with some old legacy device that
usually communicates only through serial cables. Outgoing messages can be sent to the
automation using a simple basic automation cue.
Incoming messages are parsed, and then sent to the playback engine in the form of a signal
trigger.
•The schema below explains how the daemon is run:
Figure 87: Serial Device Schema
•The file device.xml contains all elements to configure properly the serial port and how to
scan incoming messages. This file is conveniently managed by the Device Manager GUI
application. The generic serial device driver can manage different serial ports
simultaneously.
•Go to Menu → Doremi Apps. → Device Manager and follow the steps below. The following
•Serial Port is the internal device system filename the device driver will communicate
to.
•Usual values are:
/dev/ttyS0 for embedded serial port on the motherboard
/dev/ttyUSB0 for any USB-serial converter.
•Speed, Data, Stop Bits, Parity and Flow control are usual parameters used to
configure serial communication. Refer to the original automation documentation to
find out what the correct values are. Usual value is 115200 8N1. No flow control.
Figure 90: Device Manager GUI - Serial Device Added
•Message type: This parameter indicates how incoming text will be parsed to build
messages. In order to match most existing protocol, two different incoming message types
are handled.
•Fixed length messages: All messages are always expected to be the same length. The
user has to provide the message length parameter.
•End of message character: All messages are expected to have a special "magic"
character to indicate the end of message. This type matches most text-based protocol
with an end of line character (\n) to validate the entry. You have to provide the end of
message "magic" character. Multiple character sequence is not supported (e.g., \r\n).
Note that the "magic" character will NOT be part of the message sent to the playback
engine.
Figure 91: "fixed-length" and "end of message" Examples
Note: It may take up to 30 seconds before the new configuration is applicable.
•After the serial device has been configured, the user can set the trigger from the serial port
