Re: OpenG Serial drivers

[Kevin V. <k.v...@ve...>]

I saw this thread start up and I was itching to jump in but I haven't  
had much time.  I started working on something like this a several  
months back before I got swamped with work.  What actually gave me  
the idea was when I had to recompile the source code for Scantool. 
net's OBDII interface.  Long story short, they use an API for doing  
serial I/O under DOS, Linux and SunOS called DZComm.  Pretty slick.

It's on sourceforge:
http://dzcomm.sourceforge.net/

My master plan was to use Call Library Nodes to tap into the  
functions in the libdzcom.so shared library (like with the Comedi  
library).  I made 9 VIs but I don't think I ever tested all of them.   
I recall a few working...  Should be easy to finish all the functions  
if there's no complex data structures.

Here are some other serial port projects that didn't seem to be as  
useable but worth mentioning:

Columbo Simple Serial Library
http://sourceforge.net/projects/cssl/

ezV24

Have fun,
