createConnectionFromInterfaceName()

std::unique_ptr< microstrain::Connection > mip::platform::createConnectionFromInterfaceName	(	std::string	interface_name,
		uint32_t	parameter
	)

Note

This only creates the connection object; it does not open it. Call connection->connect() to open it.

Parameters

interfaceName	This is the interface name - COM* (windows) or /dev/tty* (Linux) for a serial port or anything else for a TCP socket.
parameter	For serial ports, this is the baud rate. For TCP sockets, this is the port number.
