Hi All,
I just ran into a problem that perhaps I can use Rev to solve, but
I don't know if I can, or where to start looking, so perhaps one of
you can point me in the right direction.
I have a robotic glass cutting machine I built 12 years ago. It
uses a serial communications port to initially program its internal
EPROM. I used a Mac (since deceased) with a serial port and
terminal communication software to send two small files to program
the machine when I first built it. Now the machine is acting up,
and I have replacement chips for it, but I have to program them. I
use a Keyspan USB to Serial port device and driver which work with
a serial terminal app. I can communicate with all the hardware,
but I can't control the app in the way I need to.
All I need to do is send a file one character at a time to the
device and wait for the echo before sending the next character --
piece of cake.
Anyone know if I can use Rev to do this?
This should be no problem at all. I wrote a complete driver for both
NCS/Pearson and ScanTron (bubble-form) scanners and had to do much
the same type of thing. Works great on a Mac with the Keyspan adapter.
