speed. then connect the device to the serial port (/dev/ttyS1),
and initialize the port by setting its speed using the command:
shell> setserial <options>
* "man setserial" for options
after which, you can read the data from the device as simple
as executing the command:
shell> cat /dev/ttyS1
then operate the serial device, on your case, the acroprint time
and watch the data flow. using the data, you can now code
your desired parser. note: setting the wrong port speed may
lead to an unintelligible data.
you might be planning to develop your own driver/parser. it would
be better to based your code on C. scripting languages might
suffice (http://geepeeyes.sf.net/) but it depends (-dot) :D
