Example Code

package BrainboxesIO;

import brainboxes.io.connection.IConnection;
import brainboxes.io.connection.TCPConnection;
import brainboxes.io.device.EDDevice;
import brainboxes.io.protocol.ASCIIProtocol;

public class BrainboxesIOExample {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Setup a new TCPConnection to connect to a device with the
        // default static IP address and default TCP Port number 9500
        IConnection tcpConnection = new TCPConnection("192.168.127.254", 9500);

        // Create a new EDDevice object called ED using
        // the TCP connection and the ASCII Protocol
        EDDevice ed = new EDDevice(tcpConnection, new ASCIIProtocol());

        // Set up a new String called response
        String response = "";

        // Initiate the connection to the ED Device
        ed.Connect();

        //Check if Connection was iniated successfully
        if(ed.IsConnected()){

            // Send the ACSII command to read the name of the device
            // and save the response to the string called response
            response = ed.SendCommand("$01M");

        }

        // Print out the response to the console
        System.out.println("Reponse: " + response);

        // Close the connection to the ED Device
        ed.Disconnect();
    }
