I'd like to read and write text and strings (STDIN and STDOUT) via COM1 or COM2 (standard baud rates).
Short story short, I'd like to control one or two systems with one script. I need to do shell scripting, read and write, data analysis, and simple math operations--preferably from one master script or control program. Julia seems to be perfect for this, so I have started implementing this idea with some julia code. The hangup is getting Julia to talk thru the serial port. So far, all I can come up with is doing some ccalls and using c to open the ports and read any incoming data. It doesn't seem to be in the documentation, and I've just started to scratch through the registered packages, but can julia be used to network through the COM interfaces? Thx.
