I'm trying to setup a connection of an multimeter to ttyS0. It gives a steady stream of lines to the port. (CONRAD VC96 for whom who knows)
When I use minicom for this, it works fine. The input is written on the sceen, can be saved and so on. I can leave minicom with ^A^Q and then cat /dev/ttyS0 writes the lines to the screen. But I have planned to program some functions to this stream at least maximum, minimum, average and others. So I tried to do the following in order to get rid of minicom: >stty -F /dev/ttyS0 -parenb cs8 cstopb cread ixon isig ispeed 1200 to set the required 1200,8,N,2. No luck, >stty -F /dev/ttyS0 shows the change, but the port is not setted to 1200 bps. While I was playing with stty and setserial, I figured out, that the command >stty -F /dev/ttyS0 -echo the echo on my actual ttyp0 changes, not this at /dev/ttyS0 ! Either ">stty -F /dev/ttyS0 echo" or ">stty echo" bring the echo back. Space between -F and /dev... doesn't matter. ttyp0 or tty doesn't matter. X (KDE) running or not doesn't matter. BASH_VERSION='2.01.1(1)-release' Any ideas? Matth
