Hi all,
I haven't been around much lately, have I? Looks like most of the walls are still standing and shaking comfortably. =)
I could use a bit of help accessing a serial port through C++.. which is something I don't have too much experience with yet and haven't been able to get to work properly the last weeks.
The assignment is due tomorrow it seems. I *think* I'm pretty close...
Is there by any chance someone around who would be willing to lend a hand via icq/msn/you name it?
Thanks!

ps: My #'s here: ->kuckus

I"m not gonna be on Q for another couple of hours,
but tell me your approach, and we can see if I can help.
Haven't worked with a serial port under linux, but I do have experience with network sockets and bluetooth
emulated serial ports, and hey, it's socket's after all .

So long,

Depending on what you want ot do with it, you should be able to open and read it like any other device. Eg.

code:
serial = open("/dev/sda0", O_RDONLY);
 count = read(serial, buffer, BUFEFER_SIZE);



.

Just as an update to let you know how it turned out - I had to just hand in the unfinished thing, as even with TP on the other side of the icq window there was no way for me to make much sense of the signals my program told me it was receiving.

Would have been nice to get it to work, but... I guess it could have happened, had I not somewhat 'misunderestimated' the whole thing the weeks before Not that big a deal.

Thanks again for the help though! Will be interesting to see how many points I'll be awarded for the half-working GUI at least.
