serial library - com port rediscovery
Dec 9th, 2007, 8:18am  
Is there any way to rediscover a com port if its been disconnected, then re connected again, while the program is looping?

The port assignment is handled in program setup and if a device is disconnected while the program loops, it'll continue without the device, but ignore it when its reconnected.

Such a function would be needed if the software was roaming for devices to connect to, like BT devices showing up as com ports, but so far I've not found any matter on the subject, only an assignment based on a prior knowledge of which device number in a serial.list the program should connected to.

Any clues on how to roam/discover new devices/com ports ?
