[DUG] Serial communications

[Tony Blomfield]

Hi Robert. Serial port comms is business as usual for us, and we have written at least 300 RS232 drivers for medical devices.

We do it for Windows, and for Linux on ARM.

There is no hesitation to recommend you use the old Async Pro library.

Drop on a TComport, and connect it to a TPacket and just set the Start and End conditions on the Packet component to match your frame requirements. Then just write your parser into the TPacket.OnGetDatapacket event, and its all done.

Good luck,
Tony

Hi

We have talked to a number of Eftpos terminals.  Normally this is through a middle ware application (often ActiveX) that in turn deals with the hardware.  However we are now looking at a system that requires serial communications.  What serial components would people recommend to do this?

Thanks
Rob
