The adapters have FTDI and MOSCHIP chipsets and both automatically detected and installed in Linux. I need to manually control the RTS line to key a radio so I need to solve this problem soon. The MOSCHIP adapter gets wrong receive data on ARM9 Linux but that is another problem. My connected radio needs 1200 baud and right now I suspect the baud rate is not being correctly set.

Hi Jim, I've done a little tutoring of programming and electronics. After thinking about this more I think it would make a nice educational programming project. Here is the initial page I've created: http://www.turbocontrol.com/monitor.htm Thanks for your offer to help. Please email me off-list and I will share more about what devices I'm thinking of getting. -- Regards, Paul Breneman www.BrenemanLabs.com www.dbReplication.com www.TurboControl.com/TPSupport.htm - TurboPower support links Jim Shew wrote: I am happy to see the recent posts expressing interest in getting FreePascal and Synapse working on different platforms. I don't want to get into the whole discussion about what the best programming language is, but FreePascal is the best thing going at least for GPL compilers IMHO. Python is great but has all the disadvantages of an interpreter. Don't get me started on C++. Anyway, I've found FreePascal programs compile and run great on both Windoze and Linux. Compilers not yet readily available for BSD and cell phones and other more exotic devices. I don't know if my coding skills would be of much help in this sort of endeavor, but if I could be of assistance with testing or documentation or some other way, I'd like to help. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

[Synalist] Environmental monitoring OS project based on Synapse and Synaser
Greetings! For a little background, I'm currently working on a hardware device using 'C' programming of a www.freescale.com HCS08 microcontroller. I'm using the www.processorexpert.com plugin for the www.codewarrior.com IDE. ProcessorExpert is a neat IDE plugin *written in Delphi* for rapid component-oriented embedded application development using properties, methods and events. The hardware device uses an FTDI USB chip. On the PC we are using a virtual COM port driver ( www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm ) and as that page shows there are drivers for a variety of platforms supported by Delphi and FreePascal. I may be forced with this project to implement DLLs and shared libraries using gcc (the existing main GUI program is cross-platform using Python). This has caused me to become more interested in helping to create an open-source cross-platform program that supports both serial ports and TCP/IP. The recent messages on using Synapse on Win CE (ARM) and Mac OS also helped to push me on this project. At first I'd like to pick a serial device as well as an ethernet device and create cross-platform console programs. Such programs might be good Synapse and Synaser tutorials. The second phase would use Lazarus for database and charting support. For more ideas, here is a Perl program: www.klein.com/thermd/ Here is a list of serial and ethernet devices supported: http://www.klein.com/thermd/devices.shtml Any interest, comments or suggestions? -- Regards, Paul Breneman www.BrenemanLabs.com www.dbReplication.com www.TurboControl.com/TPSupport.htm - TurboPower support links - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Re: [Synalist] Demos for Lazarus - suggestion
Lukas Gebauer wrote: Demos are currently only for Delphi and only rarely using Linux for programming, however as a Delphi programmer I find it very inconvenience and just partially handled process of conversion Delphi sources in Lazarus. If it is interesting for more people to save conversion time, perhaps Lazarus version of demos are interested to be considered as well. Demos set have directory with demos for FreePascal too. (these demos are crossplatform) However any Lazarus based demos are welcome! I've copied a message below from a few months ago. I got a copy at that time but haven't tried all the demos. -- Regards, Paul Breneman http://www.BrenemanLabs.com ** [Synalist] Synapse Lazarus package and converted demos Jesus Reyes Thu, 19 Oct 2006 12:09:32 -0700 Hi, I have made a package for Synapse (so Lazarus can find synapse sources) and converted synademo.zip release 37 examples to use it. You can find the bundle here: http://mx.geocities.com/jesusrmx/lazarus/misc/lazarus_synsnap.tar.gz Tested under windows XP and Linux using synapse release 37b7, see readme file for install instructions. VisualSynapse 0.5 also works (at least I tried the http server demo)and installs in lazarus under windows, I'm currently testing under linux, I will post a package and patches later. regards.

[Synalist] TFTPServer demo on Fedora Core 6
Hello, I just set up a new Fedora Core 6 machine with FPC 2.0.4-0 and Lazarus 0.9.20-0. I'm excited about using these for Linux development and participating in the communities. I've got the Synapse TFTPClient and TFTPServer demos both compiling and working OK with Delphi Win32 and FPC/Lazarus Win32. Under Linux both compile OK but only the client program starts up. On Linux the server program seems to hang at the inherited Create call in this code: constructor TTFTPDaemonThread.Create(IPAdress,Port:String); begin FIPAdress := IPAdress; FPort := Port; inherited Create(False); end; I don't have any debugger installed yet so I'm hoping someone will have some suggestions. Is there an issue with FPC and TThread under Linux? -- Regards, Paul Breneman http://www.BrenemanLabs.com - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
