Hi im kinda new to FreeBSD and im looking for a way to talk to a basic stamp via the comport. A basic stamp is a small microprocesser that i have connected to my home win machine and can send commands. In my case i have connected this chip to a remote control car and by sending data through the comport at 2400BPS i can navigate the car. I used to run linux and had the car working (not verywell but working). Anyway im looking for a way to access the comports at 2400BPS from a perl appliction i have written to allow the car to be driven from the net. i have read that i can open the comport like a file but how do i set parity,baudrate, stopbits, startbits etc.... Are there any examples that i could look at or any help files i can use? or hell just someone out there willing to help? Anyhelp would be great. - todd Anderson (grifter) ps are there any webcams that would work well with FreeBSD i would like to see video of what the car sees and i cant find drivers for the hardware i have now. Currently i just have 2 still image devises. a grabit and a snappy. and some small 1 inch by 1 inch color videocameras. I already know of a way to transmit the video data back to the computer i just need a way to save still images. from there a simple server push image loading system on a webpage would offer a really cool heads up view.
