======fseropen======
WMPRO FW >= 1.0 WMMEGA FW >= 2.0
Open the serial port at the specified baud rate with optional parameters
====Description====
int
fseropen (
int
$baud
[,
int
$blocking
[,
int
$invert
[,
int
$parity
]]] )
Attempt to open the serial port, and return the file handle for future operations
====Parameters====
$baud: Rate in bits per second
$blocking: Optional, if set to 1 read operations will block until data is available
$invert: Optional
$parity: Optional, 0 (even parity) or 1 (odd parity)
====Return Values====
Integer: File handle, or 0 if the attempt to open the serial port fails
The file handle may be used together with the other file functions that require a handle such as [[fgets()]], [[fwrite()]], [[fclose()]] and [[feof()]]
====Example====
===Open the serial port at 115200 baud in non-blocking mode===
$fp=fseropen(115200);
if ($fp) {
$res=fwrite($fp,"Hello from wattmon");
if ($res) {
print("An error occurred while trying to write to the port");
}
fclose($fp);
} else {
print("Serial open failed");
}
