As the topic says, i’m new to all this stuff…i`m more a plc programmer than an embedded systems one. Now i work for a company in researching and development area of industrial communications. I need to start learning about using Wavecom products in industry. I now have an Fastrack Supreme 10 modem and i need to learn to program it.
Where do I start from? I have a lot of documentation but i’m confused…i don’t know what to read first. I need for the beginning to learn how to control the serial port of this device : receiving data and responding to it ( for example : if i send “1” to the terminal than the device needs to respond with “2”). But first i need to clear what this device is all about, what is it’s hardware configuration an so on.
I did some C++ programming, but i’m not an advance programmer, for example haven’t did so many applications involving C++ oop. I graduated last year the university studies so i’m not an experienced person but i’m motivated to learn. Until know i only worked with PLCs as i stated and Vijeo Citect interface programming in a language called CiCode.
I have the basics in programming, no so much oop though. But as i said in the previous message i will start with small applications. Also i already started to remember C++, and enter in the oop world.
thanks for your reply…i also waiting for other replys…
Note that the Open-AT tools as supplied, and all the examples and documentation, are ‘C’ - not C++
While it is true that it is possible to write Open-AT application in C++, you will be very much in the minority if you do!
That isn’t generally where you want to be as a novice…
I would very much recommend that you first spend time gaining experience in ‘C’
Trying to learn ‘C’ and the peculiarities of embedded development in general and the peculiarities of Open-AT development in particular all at once is rather much to tackle together!
