USB Communication Using Qt
-
@all
Hi, I have found this thread because I have a similar problem.
I have to communicate with a serial external device folowing a simple yet precise protocol. I have tried a fast test to develop the protocol using RXTCComm java library that works not so good and now I was searching for a Qt approach that is the final goal of the other side of the device.
I try to put all your advices together and see if a working stuff can be done. If it maybe useful I put the project on the project area so who is interested can follow. As the project is ready and setup it will be on projects.forum.nokia.com/mill-machine I will announce it on t the forum appropriate area and in the Qt embedded group.
Cheers.
Anticipating many thanks to all.

Hi. I have used rs232 communication in visual c++ 6.0
which work very well. But because of my problem with
transmit images trough socket in VC++ which is
too complicated than Qt implementation ( very simple ).
I need to implement rs232 comunication.
My interface have to use TCP socket for internet comunication and rs232 for comunicate with microcontroller
and electrical devices. -
Hi dan_geo, let me know if you get your RS232 comms working with Qt. I have had to shift focus to a different project but during the downtime over the December holidays and from Jan 2012 I will be putting effort into the USB via Qt project again since many of my projects can benefit from having a GUI that I can design with Qt. I decided not to go with the RS232 option because so many PCs these days don't have a serial port. USB to serial converters are cheap, but if I can communicate directly with my device using USB then I don't need any additional hardware / drivers etc.
Good luck! -
I have not get rs232 comm. Next days i will try to
implement them in Qt. If you are a source, please
sent to me. About usb, this task i will do later
with PIC18F4455. At usb i understand that
for make a host usb is more complicated than
implement a usb client for example a controller. -
What its the best to access USB port:

Thanks.

According to "this post":http://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/15580/#90074 there is a wiki on "QtSerialPort":http://qt-project.org/wiki/QtSerialPort Apparently, the source is inherited from QSerialDevice.

It's possible to use the QtSerialPort on QT4? On this page (see: http://qt-project.org/wiki/Building-Qt-5-from-Git#15e7b6ad3df43ff719f8388ab4afb1cc) show thats is possible but he only explains to build in qt5!
Anyone is using on QT4? The example there show only to build on Windows, not on linux...
-
Possible.
Build and install process:
bq. $mkdir serialport-build $cd serialport-build $qmake ../qtserialport/serialport.pro $make (or nmake) $make install (or nmake install) Note: But in Windows, this build and install only the Debug version. To build and install Release version - just repeat the steps again, with: bq. $qmake ../qtserialport/serialport.pro CONFIG+=release use: ~~~ your custom *.pro file: bq. CONFIG += serialport your *.cpp file: @#include <QtAddOnSerialPort/serialport.h> #include <QtAddOnSerialPort/serialportinfo.h> QT_USE_NAMESPACE_SERIALPORT@ -
hi kuzulis, from QtCreator I build and appears to works fine... Doing the make as you said give me an error...
I have already copy and past the folder "QtAddOnSerialPorta" to “../bin/QtSDK/Desktop/Qt/4.8.1/gcc/include/.” and QtCreator find the includes:@
#include <QtAddOnSerialPort/serialport.h>
#include <QtAddOnSerialPort/serialportinfo.h
@I'm trying to run the example on that page but doesn't works.... the errors:
"Undefined reference to 'QtAddOn::SerialPort::SerialPortInfo::avaliablePorts()'"
... (more others 14 similar erros) -
Sorry I made some mistake:
When I try to compile on Qt using 4.6.1 or using the make on shell It gives me this error:
moc_serialport.cpp:55:16: error: ‘SerialPort’ was not declared in this scope
On the QT 4.8.1 the Qt Creator gives the message:
...
#error (moc changes too much)
... -
Remove (clear) away all that you previously copied by hand and do as I have indicated in the "above":http://qt-project.org/forums/viewreply/90605/

See the errors:

I do not know what you did - but I have everything working well.
1.To start, try to remove all the headers, libraries, etc. QtSerialPort of the your *nix OS.
2. Download the latest version of the library
3. Build and install library to the system step-by-step, see an new updated manual in the Wiki.
4. Create a new blank project and include the library as stated in the WikiMore anything, I can not help you, because I can not control all of your "curves" action.
