serial ring indicator
Mar 1st, 2007, 3:16pm  
Please advise:

Setup: a switch connected to the serial port, that shorts pins 5 and 9 (ie. indicates a ring).

I guess I need to change the serial library source file, to also call the parent method on such an event (now only DATA_AVAILABLE does it). Then if I request myPort.port.notifyOnRingIndicator(true) I should get called back.

Am I right? How do I recompile the Serial.java source file (jikes linux commandline)? Do I need to download the full processing sources?

Thank you very much

Peter

I found a simpler way: in the draw loop look whether myPort.port.isRI() - so I just have to bridge pins 7 (myPort.port.setRTS(true)) and 9 for enough time to get noticed (frameRate dependant).

thank you
