Re: Serial COM for Octave Windows

[Tatsuro MATSUOKA]

Hello

I do not have an answer to your inquiry.  But I will write as a reference.

Please see the following threads
http://www.nabble.com/Serial-communication-on-octave-for-windows-to16690237.html#a16690237

In the reply by Stefan Mahr Apr 16, 2008; 06:20am, he said that

You can use an external serial to network proxy (RFC2217) e.g. ser2net 
for linux. There exist similar programs for windows. You just have to 
use the socket package from octave-forge to write a simple wrapper. 
*********

On windows there existed the software 'net2com' however it seems that no longer 
available at present.
(I cannot find out it by Google search)

The homepage address of concerning net2com is
http://www.ohloh.net/p/net2com

However I found the address of the homepage on SourceForge is no longer 
accessible.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/net2com

The following is the translation of the thread on the Japanese Octave thread.

1) install net2com. set COM3 (the modem port of notebook computer) to  
localhost:8003 and start
net2com
2) input command from the octave promt 
octave:1> more off 
sock1 = 1252 
octave:2> sock1=socket(AF_INET,SOCK_STREAM,0) 
octave:3> server_info=struct('addr','localhost','port',8003) 
server_info = 
{ 
addr = localhost 
port = 8003 
} 
octave:4> rc=connect(sock1,server_info) 
rc = 0 
octave:5> [msg_s,len_s]=recv(sock1,255); 
octave:6> msg='ATI0'; 
octave:7> msg(5)=13; 
octave:8> rc=send(sock1,msg) 
rc = 5 
octave:9> [msg_s,len_s]=recv(sock1,20) 
msg_s = 
13 10 53 54 48 48 48 13 10 79 75 13 10 
len_s = 13 
octave:10> num2str(msg_s,'%c') 
ans = 
56000 
octave:11> disconnect(sock1) 
rc = 0 


Socket octave-forge package can be set at install process of octave-3.2.0 for 
windows.

The other possibility  you will write serial communication program using 
win32api as mention the
