Hello, Do you mean that your devices are RS232 or USB? If you want to communicate with USB devices, you should use javax.usb, however if you want to talk to RS232 devices, you should use javax.comm. Since you say your devices are RS232, I think you probably want to use javax.comm.
If your devices use a USB->RS232 converter, make sure the driver for that converter is built into your kernel and loaded, and then you should be able to access your RS232 device at one of the /dev/ttyUSBX device nodes (e.g. /dev/ttyUSB0, ttyUSB1, etc). >I am Java developer and have a new project to offer. > >The project as simple Java application which is not that big deal. What is >the problem is the USB communication. I would need to communicate with >devices through USB. The devices itself are watches, maximum 6 at the >time, >and the communication protocol is RS232.
