guicedee-cerial
Lifecycle-aware serial port connectivity for GuicedEE using jSerialComm and Vert.x 5: @Named CerialPortConnection injection by port number, CRTP-fluent configuration, automatic reconnect with exponential backoff, idle monitoring, MicroProfile Health reporting, status lifecycle (12 states), message-delimited reads, per-port logging, and optional OpenTelemetry tracing. Use when connecting to serial ports, configuring baud rate and flow control, handling serial data, or monitoring serial device health.
Best use case
guicedee-cerial is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.

# GuicedEE Cerial
Lifecycle-aware serial port connectivity for GuicedEE using jSerialComm and Vert.x 5.
## Core Concept
Inject `@Named` `CerialPortConnection` singletons by port number, configure with CRTP-fluent setters, and let the framework handle connection lifecycle, idle monitoring, automatic reconnect with exponential backoff, MicroProfile Health reporting, and optional OpenTelemetry tracing.
## Required Flow
1. Add `com.guicedee:cerial` dependency.
2. Inject a named connection by port number:
```java
@Inject @Named("1")
private CerialPortConnection connection;
```
3. Configure and connect:
```java
connection.setBaudRate(BaudRate.$9600)
.setDataBits(DataBits.$8)
.setParity(Parity.None)
.setStopBits(StopBits.$1)
.setFlowControl(FlowControl.None)
.connect();
```
4. Send and receive data:
```java
// Write
connection.write("Hello, device!");
// Read (callback on Vert.x worker thread)
connection.setComPortRead((data, port) -> {
String message = new String(data).trim();
System.out.println("Received: " + message);
});
```
5. Configure `module-info.java`:
```java
module my.app {
requires com.guicedee.cerial;
opens my.app.serial to com.google.guice;
}
```
## Port Configuration
| Method | Default | Values |
|---|---|---|
| `setBaudRate()` | `BaudRate.$9600` | `$300` to `$256000` |
| `setDataBits()` | `DataBits.$8` | `$5`, `$6`, `$7`, `$8` |
| `setParity()` | `Parity.None` | `None`, `Odd`, `Even`, `Mark`, `Space` |
| `setStopBits()` | `StopBits.$1` | `$1`, `$1_5`, `$2` |
| `setFlowControl()` | `FlowControl.None` | `None`, `RtsCtsIn`, `RtsCtsOut`, `XonXoffIn`, `XonXoffOut` |
## Connection Status
12 states grouped into Exception, Transitional, and Active sets:
- **Active:** `Silent`, `Running`, `Logging`, `Simulation`
- **Transitional:** `Opening`, `OperationInProgress`, `FileTransfer`
- **Exception:** `Offline`, `Missing`, `Failed`, `InUse`, `GeneralException`
## Reconnect with Exponential Backoff
- Starts at 1 s, doubles each attempt, capped at 60 s
- Resets on successful reconnect
- Configurable: `setInitialReconnectDelaySeconds()`, `setMaxReconnectDelaySeconds()`
## Idle Monitoring
`CerialIdleMonitor` detects silent connections via Vert.x periodic timer. Status transitions to `Silent` when idle beyond threshold.
## Health Check
`CerialHealthCheck` implements `@Liveness`, `@Readiness`, `@Startup` and reports status of all active connections (requires `health` module).
## Non-Negotiable Constraints
- Module must `requires com.guicedee.cerial;`.
- Ports 0–999 are pre-bound as `@Named("0")` through `@Named("999")` singletons.
- Serial packages must `opens` to `com.google.guice`.
- The module is registered automatically — no `provides` needed.
- Graceful shutdown via `IGuicePreDestroy` closes all open ports.Related Skills
