hello
I would ask that someone showed me how to look like the data frame sent by the plugin "generic serial", I want to steer through the Vixen -> uC-> triac output.
Thank you;)

Hello,
Sorry I didn't respond sooner, here's the plug-in attached below.

Sorry to bump an old thread - I was wondering... I found an issue with the Generic Serial output plugin... a limitation to the number of com ports... I saw in the forum here the plugin are open source... is there an issue with making changes to the original code to allow more than 4 ports? Would KC mind if I made a new dll from his generic serial code lifting the limit from 4 to 32 ports?

This whole hobby is about sharing so by you modifying it to add something extra to it, the only thing you'll make people is happy ;)

Well I have a shiny new dll... it's the generic serial output plugin... that now allows 32 com ports... tested with a teensy ++2 (USB) on Com18... it works without a prob.

Maybe you just need to post the DLL now for others

I posted a quick "How to" for the Teensy ++2 board - I've included a zip file (Teensy.zip) in the post that contains the dll and a basic Arduino sketch that will get the teensy working...

Hope the dll helps with anyone else using multiple serial ports
