#A2232 problems.
5 messages in this thread
Could anyone help me with troubles I'm having with the A2232 serial port
board? I'm using the KA9Q TCP/IP package which allows you to access serial
ports with an attach command. It allows me to use serial.device unit #2
for the first extra serial port. I must also set a buffer size which the
minimum is 576 bytes. The device attachec (a TNC) receives ok from the
radio but I don't see any activity on my screen until 576 bytes have been
accumulated. Everything is dumped out at once and then everything sits
silent until 576 bytes have been received again. The default serial port
behaves properly dumping out its data as soon as its received. I'm using
WB2.0 and the serial.device driver that came with it. I'm not sure how to
set it up so it doesn't use any handshaking. I'm going to try and jumper
the CTS/RTS lines and see if that works. If anybody has any ideas please
let me know. Tnx in advance Steve
It looks like the serial port is waiting for and end of line character
(CR). If it isn't recieving the character, then it waits for the buffer to
fill up. I have had trouble with the A2232 serial driver not being able to
look for that end of line character (When playing around with programing in
C). The 2.04 driver may be different.
Its the 2.04 driver I'm using. It came on my 2.04 install disks. Has
anybody approached Commodore with the problem. I'm sure my dealer isn't
going to be happy when I bring the board back to him. Steve
Steve,
I think you need to use the 'serial.device' which came with the 2232 and
the 2232 preferences program.
It seems to me I tried that and it failed. I will re-install it however
and let you know how I made out. Steve
