aacommpy - AACOMM nuget package wrapper

Hu Hieu

General: The AACommPY functions and properties names should mirror the C# library names. I'm not sure about the namespaces: "Shared", Extensions", etc - how should these be handled in AACommPY? The documentation should comply with the existing AAComm documentation (feel free to use it as reference, and copy-paste when needed) let me know if/what more details you need

//create a CommAPI instance var api = new CommAPI();

//start the AACommServer (note, the function has an optional parameter, please refer to the AAComm doc.) //the function returns a status string, (Success if the string is empty) AAComm.CommAPI.StartAACommServer();

//create and set object that defines HW channel parameters. In this case: Ethernet var cData = new Services.ConnectionData() cData.ControllerType = Shared.ProductTypes.AGM800_ID; cData.CommChannelType = Shared.ChannelType.Ethernet cDdata.ET_IP_1 = 172; cDdata.ET_IP_2 = 1; cDdata.ET_IP_3 = 1; cDdata.ET_IP_4 = 101; cData.ET_Port = 5000;

//Connect to the HW device ConnectResult res = api.Connect(data);

---

//create a "message" to ASYNC send to the HW (note, AACommMessage has multiple CTOR's) //this is a NON-blocking call, control is immediately returned to the executing thread var msg = new AACommMessage(OnReplyReceived, "AMotorOn"); api.Send(msg);

private void OnReplyDerived(object sender, AACommEventArgs e) {       //upon reply from HW, this callback is invoked! }

---

//create a "message" to SYNCsend to the HW (note, AACommMessage has multiple CTOR's) //this is a BLOCKING call, function returns only after the HW has replied. //execution time varies from 1 msec to 120 seconds (for very specific commands) var msg = new AACommMessage("AMotorOn"); AACommEventArgs reply = api.SendReceive(msg); //check controller 'reply' at reply.MessageReceived!

---

//disconnect the comms object: api.Disconnect()

Download FW

        //please see AAComm documentation for usage/parameters/events details
        var dlFW = new AAComm.Extensions.AACommDownloadFW();

        //dlFW.OnDownloadStarted    += ()       => MyHandle, i.e. update UI
        //dlFW.OnProgress           += progress => MyHandle, i.e. update UI
        //dlFW.OnStatus             += status   => MyHandle, i.e. update UI
        //dlFW.OnProcessEnded       += result   => MyHandle, i.e. update UI

        dlFW.StartDownloadingSafe(
            api,                        //AAComm object, must be disconnected
            connectionData,             //an object specifying the connected controller type and connection
            "FullPath_MyFW_File.bin",   //full path of the FW data file
            "FullPath_MyFW_File.ver",   //full path of the FW version file
            "ContactAgitoForPassword",  //FW DL password
            false,                      //validates controller actual vs. defined in new FW Current Ratings (NA in BOOT mode, NA for AGM800)
            AACommFwInfo.Targets.Legacy);

        //The process always ends with invocation of 'OnProcessEnded',
        //with the parameter being the download state (empty string for success, error description otherwise)
