so, turns out that socat on openwrt doesn't compile with serial support, and enabling it causes breakage :-( instead I am now using ser2net for the same function, on windows still using com0com and com2tcp, the resol windows software now talks to the controller via tcp and openwrt running on a box in the hot press com2tcp --baud 9600 \\.\COM44 192.168.205.222 2500

I have a board connected to my solar control (resol BS plus) via it's vbus interface. resol do windows software, so i want to redirect my windows pc to see my embedded board running dd-wrt , as its serial com2tcp does this on the windows side, and socat (see other post) does this on the linux side

i am using an embedded board (x86) running dd-wrt, with a serial port connected to a counter see here . I needed to send a command and collect its response, but normal cat and echo of ttyS0 didn't work, either giving me permission denied or missing the response. this worked /usr/local/usr/bin/socat gopen:/tmp/input.txt!!create:/tmp/output.txt /dev/tts/0,echo=0 where tts/0 is the serial port, and /tmp/input.txt has the command to elicit the response, and /tmp/output.txt catches the response. the create: clause makes it overwrite the output.txt each time you run the command or explicitly for my board socat exec:'echo ACA'\!\!- /dev/ttyUSB0,echo=0 | cut -b2-

I got my bathrooms renovated a year ago, and the folks that did it were excellent, they not have some sample videos of before and after shots, see http://www.homeworks.ie
