Tenma Power Supply API

Introduction

Welcome to the Tenma Power Supply API, a library for interacting with Tenma power supplies using a functional approach. This library is built using Visual Basic and Functional Extensions.

Features

• Functional Design: The API follows a functional programming paradigm, providing a clean and expressive way to work with Tenma power supplies.
• Result Monad: Robust error handling using the Result Monad, ensuring clear handling of success and failure scenarios.
• Immutable State: The library leverages immutability to maintain a consistent and predictable flow of data through functional transformations.
• Ease of Use: The API is designed to be user-friendly, allowing developers to perform common operations with ease.

Installation

To use this library in your project, you can install it via NuGet Package Manager:

nuget install TenmaPowerSupply

Usage

This is the first iteration of this chapter. It will be expanded later. For now note that this is a simple solutions, there are many ways to achieve the same goal, feel free to try out the functional toolchain this supports!

Imports System.IO.Ports
Imports Tenma.Tenma.PowerSupply

Module Main
    Sub Main()
        ' Create a new power supply instance
        Dim powerSupply = New PowerSupply("COM4", 9600)

        ' Set the output voltage and current
        Dim setVoltageResult = powerSupply.SetOutputVoltage(12.5, Channels.One)
        Dim setCurrentResult = powerSupply.SetOutputCurrent(2.0, Channels.One)

        ' Check if setting voltage and current was successful
        If setVoltageResult.IsSuccess AndAlso setCurrentResult.IsSuccess Then
            Console.WriteLine("Voltage and current set successfully.")
        Else
            Console.WriteLine($"Failed to set voltage or current. Error: {setVoltageResult.ErrOr()} {setCurrentResult.ErrOr()}")
        End If

        ' Turn on the power supply
        Dim turnOnResult = powerSupply.TurnOn()
        If turnOnResult.IsSuccess Then
            Console.WriteLine("Power supply turned on.")
        Else
            Console.WriteLine($"Failed to turn on the power supply. Error: {turnOnResult.ErrOr()}")
        End If

        ' Perform other operations...

        ' Turn off the power supply
        Dim turnOffResult = powerSupply.TurnOff()
        If turnOffResult.IsSuccess Then
            Console.WriteLine("Power supply turned off.")
        Else
            Console.WriteLine($"Failed to turn off the power supply. Error: {turnOffResult.ErrOr()}")
        End If
    End Sub
End Module
