Hi,
I am trying to get setup to write a realtime program for serial port communication. Problem im having is that sun say that java.comm is no longer available and that rxtx site just baffles me. I tried downloading several of the files but the zip folders where empty. Is there an alternative that anyone can recomment or even a sample script that someone has developed?
So I noticed: they've made a bit of a mess out of it; all you need are three files:
1) RXTXcomm.jar: the Java api identical to Sun's API
2) rxtxParalel.dll: parallel port support library
3) rxtxSerial.dll: serial port support library.
The two dlls belong in the bin directory of your JRE and the jar can be convenienty
stored in the lib\ext directory of that same JRE. I still have those files from the
2.1.7 distribution but I have no idea how to get them across; I don't have any
web space anymore ... maybe you can open up your email address and close
it again after you've received those three files (total: 182KB)
kind regards,
Jos
