Accessing SMBus from AutoIt.


Recommended Posts

I know this is usually something that windows sucks at, but I found this https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh830479(v=vs.85).aspx and wondered, would it be possible to access System Management Bus from autoit? SMBus is VERY similar to I2C, which a lot of microcontrollers support amongst other sensors and devices. It would be awesome to tap into it from autoit!

Has anyone tried it?

​That link refers to SMB not SMBus.... According to http://www.osronline.com/showthread.cfm?link=262906 it sounds like it cannot be done.

SMBus is pretty low-level and only targets hardware/firmware level. The whole purpose of an OS is to abstract from low-level.

SMB in MSDN is a network resource sharing API. This is very different.

This wonderful site allows debugging and testing regular expressions (many flavors available). An absolute must have in your bookmarks.
Another excellent RegExp tutorial. Don't forget downloading your copy of up-to-date pcretest.exe and pcregrep.exe here
RegExp tutorial: enough to get started
PCRE v8.33 regexp documentation latest available release and currently implemented in AutoIt beta.

SQLitespeed is another feature-rich premier SQLite manager (includes import/export). Well worth a try.
SQLite Expert (freeware Personal Edition or payware Pro version) is a very useful SQLite database manager.
An excellent eBook covering almost every aspect of SQLite3: a must-read for anyone doing serious work.
SQL tutorial (covers "generic" SQL, but most of it applies to SQLite as well)
A work-in-progress SQLite3 tutorial. Don't miss other LxyzTHW pages!
SQLite official website with full documentation (may be newer than the SQLite library that comes standard with AutoIt)

Oh well derp. I thought it was a long shot anyways, thanks for the input.
