Serial Scale

An IOT server written in rust for reading weighing data on scales via serial port.

Features

• very fast single binary with no dependencies
• extensively tested with hurl
• currently only supports Toledo scales (pull requests welcome).

Install

cargo install serialscale

Usage

Connects to a scale via USB serial port.

sudo serialscale /dev/ttyUSB0

You must identify in your operating system, according to the scale's connection type, which is the correct path.

For more options use:

serialscale --help

Development

sudo apt install libudev-dev pkg-config
cargo build --release

Releases

Currently, only binaries for generic versions of Linux are distributed across releases.

sudo apt install pkg-config libssl-dev musl-tools
rustup target add x86_64-unknown-linux-musl
cargo build --release --target x86_64-unknown-linux-musl
