Thnks for the suggestions of the sio stuff, Well... I've got a small portion of my project of the ground... but hit a HUGE BRICK WALL. The sensor board I'm using takes in ascii characters and chages the states of the pins depending on their values (www.ezio.com, http://www-personal.umich.edu/~rodemer/EZcomm.html if you wanna look at the API.) I was able to hook up a dumbe terminal to my CPU and pass ascii back and forth, yet when I hook the board up to the serial port , nothing. With dos util freecom I was able to write in to the board and get results, so I know it's not a shotty api. I'm really stuck here and way out of ideas (and sleep.) IS there anything different about UNIX implementation of serial communication that I should know about? Anything that gets passed before or after the ascii characters? I'm 10 days away from an exhibition so I'm kinda desperate :( Any app I could hack appart to see how they tick that's not a modem? Any other people trying to write drivers for strange devices for the forces of art :)? Thanks again, dima ------------------------------------------------------------ *******************##########################*************** Dima Strakovsky dima49@usa.net dstrakov@hotmail.com http://www.netpro.chicagonet.net/dima ____________________________________________________________________ Get free e-mail and a permanent address at http://www.netaddress.com/?N=1 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
