Widgets for applications using QtSerialPort

QtSerialWidgets

This library contains configuration widgets to be used in Qt widgets based applications using the QSerialport class.

You can use it as a a library: compile the qtserialportwidgets.pro project and use the library files in the bin folder. Or you can also include the qtserialportwidgets.pri file directly to your project and compile the widgets directly to your application.

If you are using Qt Designer for designing your user interface promote your widgets on the layout to the necessary settings widget. (Right click on the QComboBox and select promote to.) The pri file adds the QtSerialWidgets project's path to the INCLUDEPATHS so use global include for the delegation.

The library contains the following widgets:

SerialPortSettingsDialog:

• A standard dialog for manipulating the serial port parameters.
• It also displays the retrived information about the current serial port.
• This dialog is based on the QtSerialport Terminal example.
• The dialog provides two methods for loading a QSerialPort settings to the gui and applying the gui settings to a QSerialPort instance (loadSettingsFromPort and applySettingsToPort).
• There is also an option for passing a QSerialPort pointer to the dialog to handle the configuration of the port by the GUI.
• In this case all configuration changes are taken into place after the pressing of the Apply button.
• The settings of the dialog can be saved and restored through a configured QSetting object with the saveSettings(QSettings &) and loadSettings(QSettings &) methods.
• The displayed ports can be filtered by the VID:PID identifiers

SerialPortComboBox:

• A combobox which populates itself with the serial ports present on the system. The list is regenerated every time when the QComboBox's showPopup is called, so the plug'n play devices could be detected without any external coding.
• The port informations (provided by the QSerialPortInfo) like serial number, manufacturer, etc. can be accessed from the itemData method with the roles above Qt::UserRole

BaudRateComboBox:

• A combobox showing the baudrates supported by the system

DataBitsComboBox:

• A combobox for specifying the number of data bits.

ParityComboBox:

• A combobox for specifying the parity.

StopbBitsComboBox:

• A combobox for specifying the number of stop bits.
