When an Uwatec Aladin is connected, but the transfer hasn't been started yet, we receive a continuous stream of zero bytes. Approximately every 7-8ms a new zero byte is received. But when the dive computer is (temporary) disconnected, the stream of zero bytes also ends. The consequence is that due to the use of blocking read call with an infinite timeout, the application becomes unresponsive, without any chance to abort the communication. This can eaily be avoided by using a timeout instead. Receiving the main 2048 byte packet takes about 1050ms. Thus a 3000ms timeout should be long enough to not cause the main data transfer to timeout, but still short enough to cancel reasonable fast.
Overview ======== Libdivecomputer is a cross-platform and open source library for communication with dive computers from various manufacturers. The official web site is: http://www.libdivecomputer.org/ The sourceforge project page is: http://sourceforge.net/projects/libdivecomputer/ Installation ============ On UNIX-like systems (including Linux, Mac OS X, MinGW), use the autotools based build system. Run the following commands from the top directory (containing this file) to configure, build and install the library and utilities: $ ./configure $ make $ make install If you downloaded the libdivecomputer source code directly from the git source code repository, then you need to create the configure script as the first step: $ autoreconf --install To uninstall libdivecomputer again, run: $ make uninstall Support ======= Please send bug reports, feedback or questions to the mailing list: http://libdivecomputer.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devel or contact me directly: jef@libdivecomputer.org License ======= Libdivecomputer is free software, released under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL).
