Yes eventually I would like to make the simulator part itself more stand alone, particularly to make it easier to have more than one instance, and a TCP socket is probably the way to control it. However what I am after here is a serial port so that regular terminal software can interact with the program running ‘on’ the simulator. For instance the Arduino IDE comes with an example that makes an Arduino print out an ASCII table via the serial port. I would like to run similar code on the simulator and display the table in the same way. For that, I think I need a virtual serial port. > >> I would like standard serial communication software to be able to talk to my >> app. > > There are standard programs for talking to TCP sockets (e.g. telnet). > The advantage of TCP over serial is that there are a lot of > standardized, cross-platform APIs for using TCP sockets (e.g. the > POSIX system calls like bind and listen), it's a much more common way > for processes to communicate, and you could easily connect to > simulators running on a different computer. > > —David > <snip> — Peter _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
