<DIV dir=ltr>Hi, I'm messing with the [comport] object right now, trying to
sketch out a subpatch to interpret raw MS serial mouse data since I can't
get [serialmouse] to do anything. I'm using this link as my guideline: <A
href="http://astronomy.swin.edu.au/~pbourke/dataformats/serialmouse/">http://astronomy.swin.edu.au/~pbourke/dataformats/serialmouse/</A></DIV></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>First, I used serial port monitoring software to ensure that the
antique serial mouse I found is working -- it is.</DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>Then, I create [comport], assign port 0 (COM1), 1200 baud, 7 bits,
with no problem. When I try to assign 1 stop bit, it tells me that it
could not assign it. However, that's not the real source of my
confusion.</DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>The real thing that's confusing me is that I guess I was imagining
[comport] to have 9 outlets (one for each pin) or something. It
appears to have only one outlet, and I can't get that outlet to do anything, no
matter how much I wiggle the mouse.</DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>Thanks for any suggestions!</DIV>
