Php Serial Port Communication Linux Commands

  • PHP Serial I somehow got hold of a « Citizen C2202-PD » point-of-sale display, and I wanted to play around with it. I also managed to get the documentation of it, and created a convenience class to access the serial port though the Linux file.
  • This class can be used to communicate with a serial port under Linux or Windows. It takes the path (like '/dev/ttyS0' for linux or 'COM1' for windows) of serial device and checks whether it is valid before opening a connection to it. Once the connection is opened, it can send data to the serial port.

But it doesnt work . When I send a command directly from the terminal using the command : echo 1 > /dev/ttyUSB0 it works and '1' is transmitted to the serial port . But using php I get the above warnings .

I have used the '$whoami' to check name of user and added that user 'prudhvi' to the dialout group . It still doesnt work . Please help me guys.

I did this once with Debian to control an Arduino board with a PHP script and initially ran into the same problem.

In Debian, you need to add the Apache user to the dialout group in order to allow it to make serial connection requests. I would assume the same is true for Fedora.

In Debian the command is:

However I believe Fedora names the Apache user as apache instead. I don't have a Fedora machine to test on, but I would assume the command you need to run is:

You will then need to restart your xampp server.

Could you post the lines near / related to '/opt/lampp/htdocs/xampp/php_serial.class.php on line 147'?

Open Port Linux Command

I suspect that you are trying to set the device incorrectly (as Marc indicated). Either that or the port is already in use from other testing you are conducting at the same time. I'm not sure if the script you are running provides errors specific to ports you are trying to attach to already being in use.

First test a hello world type php script to testyour basic installation.

Then verify the web server / php engine is running as a user which is in a group allowed to access the applicable /dev/ttyWHATEVER device file corresponding to the serial port. It would be surprising if that were true by default - you'll probably have to add it to the 'dialout' or similar group.

Add some fault checking / reporting to your code. Install debian software on windows 8 hp.

Credit goes to Marc B's comment for causing me to look this up, and he's dead on: http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/file/17926.html

I believe that calling $serial->deviceSet('/dev/ttyUSB0'); will fix it, but you may have to modify the source of php_serial.class.php to work on /dev/ttyUSB instead of /dev/ttyS.
