New issue 3599 by stephane...@gmail.com: Serial Port
http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=3599
Hello
We are developing software to interact with small robots for educational
purposes. To do this we need to use the serial port. SerialPort class that
includes Pharo does not work on mac or linux, because it´s not able to
open ports by name.
It would be interesting that future versions include a SerialPort that
would work in these circumstances. we are using since a time a´go the
plugin that comes with Scratch, with this we just copy the plugins in the
folder of the VM, the Plugin that comes with the VM Scrath, and add to the
image of the image classes of Scratch , ScratchPlugin and SerialPort2.Up to
date this has worked on all VM including the latest Cog.
It works on Linux, Mac or Windows.We wory that future versions will lose
support.
One important question is what is the license of scratch
Then in addition I know that there is a fix made by serge for SerialPort
