i would like to send a stream of bytes to a serial port using the command line. is this possible? my serial port is at /dev/cu.usbserial-A700dYoR on my Mac. for example, if i wanted to send the integer 50 or the string "data" to that serial port, how can i do that?
my knowledge of UNIX is very limited.
#!/bin/bash
# Port setting
stty -F /dev/cu.usbserial-A700dYoR raw speed 9600
echo 'Hello' > /dev/cu.usbserial-A700dYoR
or something like that if I remember correctly... Been a few years. You will probably have to be sudo
for it to work...
This is sending text... not binary.. to send the number 50 as text
echo '50' > /dev/cu.usbserial-A700dYoR
to send it as a binary integer would be more difficult.
