Serial comms

Hi,

I've been trying for some time to establish reliable serial comms for
a 4-port system, i.e. with the two regular COM1 and COM2 on the
motherboard and with a dual PCI serial card (COM3 and COM4). The
serial class I have works fine with COMs 1 and 2, but I can only read
from COMs 3 and 4, not write. Other applications seem to work fine
with all the ports, so it's not a hardware issue. Is there something
special I need to do when dealing with COMs on a PCI card? (I am using
Win2000 on a Celeron 1.2GHz)

Many thanks,
Karl

I can't figure this out, Please Help!!!! I would appreciate any remarks or opinions or help about the code below. A you can see I am writing and reading from the serial port, that is going OK MOST of the time. My big problem is when I want to break the while loop.

Hi All, I am writing a polling controller for an RS-485 line that has several addressable devices connected. It is a small access control system. All is well- the code runs for anything from three hours to three days, then sometimes when I get a comms error and have to send out a nak character, it fails hard... The traceback below pops up. - the first lines are just some debug prints.

Hi, I am trying to access Serial Port in XP. I am using Dev-C++ IDE that uses Mingw as a compiler. I just want to know how I can open up serial port on COM1 and write some data. I have searched quite a bit over the web and could not find anything useful. I don't want to use Visual C++ or Cygwin, linux, etc. If any of you guys have some little tid bit of code that would be great to look at.

Hi all, I've got an application that's written in C++ making use of MFC (VS6). Its purpose is to process SMS messages received from a GSM modem connected via a serial port (USB connection). The serial communications are handled entirely in their own thread. For the most part this works perfectly.However, there appears to be a problem where multiple instances of the application are running in different Windows XP environments. It seems...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
