Hyperterminal

WaldoDTD

Hey, is there any way to configure a java program to send control signals over a hyperterminal? I am still new to Java and I only know enough to program the javelin stamp. If there is some type of tutorial that covers it could someone please post a link to said tutorial. Thanks!-Signol01

Go here and download the Javelin manual and other docs.

You use the Uart class to send serial data to hyperterminal.

So this is without reguard to the Javelin, my project is on two fronts, one on the stamp and one in the computer. I need to link the two programs together through the COM port and set up the computer program to send control signals perferably in the form of text messages. the Uart class would be used in the computer program for this type of hack? Thanks!-Hacker

No, the Uart class is for the Javelin. It allows you to setup

bidirectional serial connection between the Javelin and a PC.

On the PC you can use Hyperterminal to send connands

by typing text or sending small text files. You also·could

write a Visual Basic program to send your commands.

Or any other program language for that matter.

yes but where would I learn how to write a program to send commands via the terminal? Should I just learn visual basic? I would prefer Java because most of my project is written in java. Regards!-Hacker

You wouldn't write a program to send commands using hyperterminal, you would write a program to send commands directly to the serial port. You could write it in any language that can access the serial port on your PC.
