Re: [misterhouse-users] Using Win32::SerialPort with a VScom200L serial card

[Dave C. <cra...@dc...>]

Bruce, Thanks for your response, unfortunately it looks like the 800 model
and 200 model come with different drivers as I don't see a 'use default baud
rate' setting for the card.

But I do have an update on this. I used portmon to watch the ports as I
connect to them and I see the problem but I'm not sure how to correct it..

When I run a test stub script with COM1 (a motherboard port) portmon reports
that it was opened at 19200b, which is what was requested. However, when I
run this with COM5 (the add-on card) portmon reports that it was opened at
1200b. Any ideas to why the add-on card would be ignoring the baudrate
request?

Here's a snippet of my test stub:

my $ob = Win32::SerialPort->new("COM5") || die("Couldn't open COM5");
$ob->baudrate(19200);
$ob->parity("none");
$ob->databits(8);
$ob->stopbits(1);
$ob->handshake("none");
$ob->write_settings || die("Couldn't write serial port settings");
