Hi,
Does anyone have an example of how can I access serial port(com1, com2, ...) data in Linux using Euphoria?
I do this in Windows using the Pcomm.dll library, but in linux I have no idea how to do that.
Thanks
Rubens

You need to access /dev/ttyS1, etc. There's lots of C howtos and tutorials on the web. Search Google for linux serial port.

I was wondering the same thing. The problem I'm having is I don't understand how to set the Baud Rate and such...

Hi
Set the serial port wih setserial
open the port for read or write eg open("
dev
ttyS0", "r") (may need to be root for this, or allow program to have access)
get bytes from the serial port with getc or gets
put bytes with put putc or puts
Remember that on linux all files, terminals, ports access etc are just streams of data, you just have to tell the computer where to put them. While the above is obviously extremely simplified, its a good starting point for experiments.
Read everything else you can, there's no simple one size fits all solution.
If you're wanting to do modem stuff just use mgetty

Looks like Creole markup got the best of you.
integer fn fn = open( "/dev/ttyS0", "r" )

Thanks,
I will start some tests here. It seems much simpler than in Windows.
