Serial Comm

Hi All,

I've an application that write and read from different serial ports.

I made a class with an object from Charon Communications.

On the main form I create several instances of that class, depending on
the number of serial ports I want to handle, and control any input data
with a timer that is checking the machine attached to the serial port
and whenever there is information the data available is triggered.

On the main form there are several functions that are activated by
timers in order to check certain variables on the class so the app may
write the data on the SQL Database.

Sometimes with no apparent reason the class freezes and I need to
restart the app so it continues working.

Why is this happening?

Any ideas?

Regards,

Joaquim

Hello, I am experiencing some strange problems while using a usb to serial adapter vs. a real comm port. The problems started with getting a blue screen at random times.

Has anyone else experienced this problem. ...
