QT QSerialPort and QTcpSocket working together

vahidnateghi

I'm writing a medium program where it is supposed to get some packages from a program in one computer (A) via TCP protocol and send it to another machine(B) using the serial port.

This is generally what I did to have them all together:

@class TcpSerial : public QObject
{
Q_OBJECT
private:
    QSerialPort *serialGate;
    guiCommand *Command;
    tcpReceiver *TCP;  \\A seperate class I wrote which can do basic TCP actions
public:
    antennaDataReceiver();
public slots:
    void dataReceivedFromSerial();
    void send_to_serial();
}

@
They need to have some sort of communication as to give Command to each other. Now I have a problem managing the Thread issue here. I tried different approaches but I got different errors each time:

1.Defining a new Thread using QThread and moving one of them into a seperate thread

@ socket notifiers cannot be disabled/enabled from another thread@
2.Moving the tcpReceiver to my class thread.
3.Leaving them alone to run on their own threads.

@ QObject: Cannot create children for a parent that is in a different thread.
//and the program hangs out, I checked in this situation both tcpReceiver and serialSender are running in the same thread@

What is you suggestion for handling this situation? Thank you in advance.

Hi, as QSerialPort and QTcpSocket both provide
asynchronous API, there is no need to create your own thread in normal cases.
