GPIO board read/write via bash

Trying to get a GPIO board working, need to access it from script, here is what I am using:



stty -F /dev/ttyACM1 115200 raw -echo #CONFIGURE SERIAL PORT
exec 3</dev/ttyACM1 #REDIRECT SERIAL OUTPUT TO FD 3
cat <&3 > /tmp/ttyDump.dat & #REDIRECT SERIAL OUTPUT TO FILE
PID=$! #SAVE PID TO KILL CAT
echo "gpio readall" > /dev/ttyACM1 #SEND COMMAND STRING TO SERIAL PORT
sleep 5s #WAIT FOR RESPONSE
kill $PID #KILL CAT PROCESS
exec 3<&- #FREE FD 3
cat /tmp/ttyDump.dat #DUMP CAPTURED DATA


The board is working - I can access via screen, enter same command and get results back, so I know its my fractured script. What am I doing wrong?



Note - this script was copied from elsewhere here on stackexchange.

  • When the script finishes (assuming it does), what's in your ttyDump.dat file?

  • ttyDump.dat is empty, zero length.

  • Please edit your question to add the GPIO board's manufacturer and model so that others with the same board might also find your question and answer...

I found my problem. First, I had the tty commo configured wrong. Second, I was sending the command in a way that the GPIO board didn't know what to do with it. This works:



stty -F /dev/ttyACM1 -cstopb -crtscts cs8 9600 #CONFIGURE SERIAL PORT
exec 3</dev/ttyACM1 #REDIRECT SERIAL OUTPUT TO FD 3
cat <&3 > /tmp/ttyDump.dat & #REDIRECT SERIAL OUTPUT TO FILE
PID=$! #SAVE PID TO KILL CAT
# echo "Process ID is $PID"
printf "gpio read 0r" > /dev/ttyACM1 #SEND COMMAND STRING TO SERIAL PORT
sleep .2s #WAIT FOR RESPONSE
kill $PID #KILL CAT PROCESS
exec 3<&- #FREE FD 3
cat /tmp/ttyDump.dat #DUMP CAPTURED DATA
