Trying/developing Arduino sketches on PC

This small project has been started for trying a serial communication sketch (such as a GSM or GPS module) on PC using GCC with your favourite IDE/debugger. The hardware is very simple: it is only a USB/serial converter with TTL inputs/outputs. In the prototype a CP2102 converter was used which has all serial signals presented on soldering pads.

The serial port device is defined in "Arduino.h" as SERIAL_PORT.

In Arduino sketch you can use:

• "Serial" as local console
• "Serial1" as TTL serial converter TX/RX

Digital outputs:

• pin0: DTR signal on serial converter
• pin1: RTS signal on serial converter

Digital Inputs:

• pin2: DSR signal on serial converter
• pin3: CTS signal on serial converter

Following Arduino keywords and functions have been implemented:

Keywords:

• INPUT
• INPUT_PULLUP
• OUTPUT
• LOW
• HIGH

Functions:

• void pinMode(int,t_pinMode);
• void digitalWrite(int,int);
• int digitalRead(int);
• void setup();
• void loop();
• void delay(unsigned long);
• unsigned long millis();

Serial and Serial1 methods:

• void begin(int baud);
• void end();
• uint8_t write(uint8_t val);
• uint8_t write(char * str);
• uint8_t write(char * buf, int len);
• int available();
• int read();
