Simplify serial port selection #51

Closed TheMontezuma closed 7 years ago

TheMontezuma commented 7 years ago

The user can now select one of the available serial ports from a list (QComboBox). The last entry in the list is called "Custom". This entry is editable, so you can enter a serial port name of a currently not connected device. Additionally Windows / Linux port names are treated now in consistent way: "/dev/" path does not belong to the serial port name.

something inside me struggles with saying "/dev/" is not part of the serial port name, but at the same time, I know certain utilities (core utilities, I might add, like getty) also make the same assumption.

My main question, is whether this works properly migrating from previous respeqt versions which saved the entire /dev/ttyxxx path in the settings files/registry? EDIT: looking through the old code, I see this is the case.

Yes, I took care about it :) If we read "/dev/ttyUSB0" from registry, then I will skip "/dev/", so the user will be presented with "ttyUSB0" only, and RespeQt will properly open "/dev/ttyUSB0"

So I cloned Joey's RespeQt git repository on my Rpi and tried to build an updated binary but I get an error message when I use qmake - "Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: serialport"

Hi, I have already posted some days ago on Atari Age:

Note: QSerialPort is not included in qt-default / qtbase, so you need to install libqt5serialport5-dev in order to compile RespeQt:

sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install build-essential git qt5-default qtbase5-dev libqt5serialport5-dev
