Hello,
I am considering buying a serializer WL board with the USB module.
Does anyone have experience using it ?
Is it as simple as sending some commands over a serial port and getting some responses back ? (a la sending commands to a hayes modem for example ?)
What is in the C++ library ? Is it pretty much the same as what is in the libraries that can be used with MS visual studio ?
Is there a a 'protocol' description/definition for communication with the board?
Is there someone who actually got it to work in Linux/Fedora?
(If it is a simple serial text/ascii based protocol it shouldn't be too difficult.)
sorry for the large number of questions, but I want to know what my options are before I buy the board.
thanks,
Ron

| Hi Ron, I do use the Serializer WL on Linux Debian without any problems. However I do not use USB, I use a com port, Java doesn't support USB. I developed a library in Java that send ascii commands to the board and so far I did not have any issues. Cedric.
