Multi serial port application

[veera]

in my desktop using two serial ports using right now may be in built its four i guess.....

@veera Make sure your user is member of dialout group

[mrjj]

Also if you are having ONLY 2 serial ports why are you then
trying the /dev/ttyS4 port ???
i would giess on
/dev/ttyS0
or
/dev/ttyS1

[veera]

i have verified with minicom slot machine cable is connected with ttyS4 so i am trying with this port

[veera]

i have tried ttyS0 and ttyS1 also it is not able to open the serial port....

@veera

ok. not sure what could be wrong with your linux if you have added
yourself (your username) to dial out group and you are sure that the port exists.

What linux are you using ?

If you need the sudo password than setting yourself into dialout group did not work!

Have your rebooted your PC after you put yourself into dialout?

Hint: call error() when opening the serial port fails to get more information about the error.

@aha_1980 @veera Reboot is not needed: just log off and on again after adding yourself to the group.

[veera]

yes i have rebooted system now opened successfully ......Thank you so much

how to write and read the hexbytes such as unsigned char ch1[] = {0X01,0X04,0X0F} etc from serial port......

[mrjj]

@veera
Hi
Hex is a notation and not a format.
The bytes are still just bytes.
QByteArray has
QByteArray::fromHex
http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qbytearray.html#fromHex
and
http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qbytearray.html#toHex

[aha_1980]

@jsulm I know :) But it does not hurt either and before explaining what logging out an in again means...

[veera]

@mrjj ,
Okay thanks i will try it now....
