I'm a fairly new
java programmer, and I'm having some problems. I've done some reading in these forms on the internet. Here's my goal:
I have a device (a weather station) attached to my rs232 com port, and I'd like to read in the data being sent to my pc. I have no idea how to approach this.
This is what I've done: I've looked at that Sun Java API, but it appears that they have elminated windows suppport in version 3.0. I found out about the rxtx.org open source project, but after reading through this, I became thoroughly confused. Is figuring that out going to be my best option? What's the best way for a relativly new java programming to access data coming into a COM port in WindowsXP?
Thanks for your help!
