Re: How to use Serial Port

As long as the serial port is setup correctly by the OS. Then can't
you just use fopen, fprintf/fscanf and fclose? What OS are you using,
as this determines what file you'll need to open with fopen? On my
Mandrake system I'd probably try opening /dev/cua0.  Not sure what it
would be under cygwin....

There isn't a serial command in octave or octav-forge however, so you can't
change the parameters of the serial port from within octave.
