I need to open a serial port on Windows XP.
I'm pretty limited on programming languages but can code Java and C.
Javax.comm package is no longer supported - third party isn't very good either :S
so how do I open a port? at the moment all I want to do is open, listen for a very simple signal (from a led) and close.
Doesn't need to do anything, Just need to know I can open the port using either Java or C.
OR - what program is recommend for serial port interfacing.
I've spent the last week searching EVERYTHING on google (feels like it anyways) and I need to get this working so any help is appreciated lots! :D
I would give an example code - if anything worked for me :(
Thanks all!
