How do I get drvSerial/drvAscii for R3.14? 

 

I ask because of the following response to the Serial Driver for LINUX thread. 

 

Note:  I have implemented the parsing of checksums in drvAscii v. 2.2 with no problems.  They have added a user definable pre-parser that can handle this. 

 

1. Use of drvSerial/ drvASCII (thanks to Paul Tyler and Kevin Tsubota who sent to me the R3.14 version). It works fine. But, due to the very general protocol of drvASCII, it is neither possible to implement the checksum policy of the FP (fieldpoint) protocol, nor the check of the module responses. On the other hand, this approach is very convenient to test individual FP commands on the fly (particularly useful to understand the different types of commands, parameters etc..)
