serial2udp 1.0.5

serial2udp transceiver

#General

This is serial port to UDP packet transceiver. The reads serial port ascii and sends the text as UDP datagrams if the lines match selection criteria.

#Installation

To install from pypi run

`sh pip install serial2udp `

## From Sources

`sh $ git clone ssh://[e-mail]/serial2udp `

`sh $ cd serial2udp `

`sh $ python3 -m venv venv `

`sh $ source venv/bin/activate `

`sh $ python setup.py build install `

# Use example

Suppose you read data from a serial port of a device /dev/device1 and want to distribute that data via UDP packages to a local network.

Suppose the device generates ascii text lines:

line1 word1 word2

line2 word3 word4

udp key1=val1, key2=val2

lineN

udp key3=val3, key4=val4

If we wish to distribute only the lines that start with udp the following command will do it:

`sh serial2udp.py --serport /dev/device1 --host xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -p port --ifstarts_with 'udp ' `

For the example above this command will generate two UDP datagrams.

The program does not parse the data in ny way, but if --ifstarts_with option is used, the line string is stripped off of the value given in that option ('udp ' in this case). The serial communication options are customizable.
