1 PCCom Library Abilities
The
PCCom library provides a simple way to allow a geode to provide and monitor a PCCom connection. If you are familiar with the SDK, you probably think of
pccom
as a tool which allows the target machine to receive commands from the host machine. While the target machine runs the
pccom
tool, the host machine can upload and download files and otherwise manipulate the target machine.
The PCCom library allows a geode to start up a PCCom thread monitoring a serial port for purposes other than debugging. For instance, it allows the GEOS machine to receive files sent over a serial line by another machine running pcsend or another program using pccom's file transfer protocol. This allows file transfers and other pccom operations to go on in the background while the user continues to interact with GEOS.
If you're not familiar with the
pccom
tool, you should probably read the pccom section of
the Using Tools chapter--perhaps
not the whole section, but at least enough to understand basic usage.
