What's the easiest way, from Haskell, to open a serial port (under
Windows, say) with the correct baud rate and parity, and send data
through it? Is there a serial library for Haskell?
Don't know wethere there are some libraries
This is just the way I would go.. I did this long ago on Windows but
there may be better ways now.
Get DevCPP (because it ships with a WinAPI help file)
search for COM or special device or openfile ..
There you might get a reference to the functions you need to set
baudrate etc
In general all you need is opening a file with name COM1 on windows.
I think you don't have to do all the ffi stuff yourself.
There are windows api bindings already.
I'd also recommend http://com0com.sourceforge.net/ .
Perhaps try readFile COM1 and see wether it works.
I'd also recommend http://com0com.sourceforge.net/ .
Then you can use Windows HyperTerminal
to see wether your application produces some output/ send data to your
application to test it.
I hope I didn't tell you too much rubbish from my memory ;)
You can also wait till you get a better response.
