iirc, on linux at least, [comport] makes pd hang, _whenever_ the other end disappears. i.e.: - pulling out the usb-cable, while the arduino is connected - turning off an rfcomm device i should test again, if pd hangs immediately, or if only hangs sending another message/a certain amount of bytes to [comport]. roman ___________________________________________________________ Telefonate ohne weitere Kosten vom PC zum PC: http://messenger.yahoo.de _______________________________________________ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
