I'm trying to setup a connection of an multimeter to ttyS0. It gives a steady stream of lines to the port. (CONRAD VC96 for whom who knows)
When I use minicom for this, it works fine. The input is written on the sceen, can be saved and so on. I can leave minicom with ^A^Q and then cat /dev/ttyS0 writes the lines to the screen. But I have planned to program some functions to this stream at least maximum, minimum, average and others. So I tried to do the following in order to get rid of minicom: >stty -F /dev/ttyS0 -parenb cs8 cstopb cread ixon isig ispeed 1200 to set the required 1200,8,N,2. I couldn't change the setting of the port at all. stty -F /dev/ttyS0 -a shows the change, but cat /dev/ttyS0 shows nothing. The permissions are: crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 64 Dec 28 21:00 /dev/ttyS0; I'm in the group dialout, but only minicom changes actualy the settings - nothing else I found - stty and setserial. Any ideas? Matth
