Can you send different parameters to serial port?

parameters...

Hi,

Is it possible to send different parameters (like: kernel processor usage, free memory, file system parameters, etc...) to serial port ?

Cheers !

Hello,

I can't understand what you want to do... Can you detail your problem?

I want to display those parameters to a lcd display, after the OS start
Hope this give you an ideea

Cheers !

Re: parameters...

Ok, one more question. You don't know how to get these parameters from OS or you don't know how to send and display them?

My vision:
You wrote the program, which gets these parameters from system, put it in startup. When system starts, your program gets parameters and sends them via rs232 (lpt, usb etc) to a module which consists from microcontroller (PIC, MSP, etc) and LCD. You need a microcontroller to communicate with PC. So, controller gets the data from PC and displays them to LCD.

Sorry for my bad english but I hope, you understand

Good luck!

Hi microchaos,

Right, you understand perfect what I want to do
The problem is to get those parameters, not to display

Cheers !

PS No problem with the english English isn't my native language

Re: parameters...

Hi Nex one more time,

Most of system parameters you can get from registry (in Win ). For instance this procedure returns the frequency of CPU in MHz:

DWORD CPUFreqFromReg()
{
HKEY hKey;
DWORD dwBuff;
LONG lreg;
DWORD dwfreq;

lreg = RegOpenKeyEx(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "Hardware\\Description\\System\\CentralProcessor\\0", 0, KEY_READ, &hKey);

if(lreg == ERROR_SUCCESS)
{
dwBuff = sizeof(DWORD);
lreg = RegQueryValueEx(hKey, "~MHz", NULL, NULL, (LPBYTE)(&dwfreq), &dwBuff);
RegCloseKey (hKey);
};

if(lreg != ERROR_SUCCESS)
{
dwfreq = 0;
};

return dwfreq;
};

For the CPU ussage try this link:

You should refer to MSDN and Google too

My best regards to Rumunia!

Hello,

If you can read russish, you can try this link: w*w.proglib.ru

Cheers!

Re: parameters...

I just found this link:

h**p://w*w.proglib.ru/detail.asp?id=946

I think there will be a good starting point for you.
