I did so right after I sent that message, to Lukáš Gebauer (from the
page http://www.ararat.cz/synapse/credits.htm)
is that
really work with USB also ?
Yes. The problem with the original implementation is that, in IMHO a
misguided attempt to cross compatibility, it mangled the name of the
device, so if you try to open 'COM1' it would try to open /dev/ttyS0
under linux, and viceversa. The problem is that serial usb ports take
the name /dev/ttyUSBx (where x is the number of the port), so that
approach would fail miserably.
I changed that so that the library doesn't mangle the name (i.e. you can
try to open the device with any name) and added an overloaded method to
open the port by number (e.g. 1 for COM1 or /dev/ttyS0).
And I'm pretty sure it works: I have 4 PCs using this library to gather
data on an assembly line working 24h a day ;-)
Well, Lukáš has replied and my change (wrt device name) isn't really
necessary. I don't remember why I though so.
Regarding the changes in synautil.pas he told me that it is shared with
the Synapse project, so it's not a good idea to make a special version
for synaser: the latest version included in the synapse project should work.
