Programming the Bus Pirate with C#
A while ago i received my Bus Pirate from Seeed Studio Depot. In essence it is a universal serial bus interface and i would love to program it using c#. I know that i can use the DataReceived event and then fiddle with bits (read here if you’re into that kind of self-punishment) but spawning a separate thread to do the blocking work is ten times less work to get it up and running
static void Main()
{
using (var serialPort = new SerialPort("COM9", 115200, Parity.None, 8, StopBits.One))
{
serialPort.Open();
new Thread(() => WriteLinesFrom(serialPort)).Start();
while (true)
{
var command = Console.ReadLine();
if (command == "EXIT") break;
serialPort.WriteLine(command);
}
}
}
static void WriteLinesFrom(SerialPort serialPort)
{
try
{
while (true) Console.WriteLine(serialPort.ReadLine());
}
catch (Exception)
{
break;
}
}
