Serial port?

Thread view:

Johannes Beekhuizen - 01 Jan 2002 05:00 GMT

Hallo All,

I'd like to talk to my serial ports using Java. Browsing the documentation did
not give me any ideas. Could somebody please give me a hint on how to do it?

Groetjes,

Hans.

I don't know the answer but I know this has come up in this newsgroup
several times in the past. If you search the archives via Google, I'm sure
you'll find your answer.

Take a look at http://www.rxtx.org/, it offers an implementation of the
JavaComm interfaces.
I'v heard that sun has taken out the Win32 JavaComm download page since
the sun's implementation had a lot of bugs, I use the RXTX
implementation and never had a problem with it.

Sun just redid the JavaComm api for linux. I have a windows copy if you
can't find one and want it. It works fine for me but I'm not doing
anything really complicated.

I certainly would not want a Windows thing :) But I found it, thank
you for the hint.

I don't want anything complicated either. Just get out some data
from an instrument. But complicated enough for somebody with little
experience writing Java :)

Groetjes,

I have used the Sun one very recently. It works well for what I wanted to
use it for.
Just do a search for serial port on the java web page.
