Operating Systems Linux Debian Reading data from a serial port Post 302920063 by wisecracker on Tuesday 7th of October 2014 02:56:39 AM

What do you mean how?

If the value being read from the serial port is 0, (zero), then the cursor will not move.
Until the value changes from 33 to 126 you will not see anything printed but the cursor __might__ move by one space.

What is connected to the serial port, /dev/ttyS0?
Does it allow raw transfer? (e.g. Arduino.)

If nothing is connected then obtain a loopback plug as a test piece and plug it into the port.

Once set up and with a loopback plug connected use this untested line:-
Code:
printf "Some text to display" > /dev/ttyS0

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

NAME
Blt_TreeNodeId - Returns the node serial number. SYNOPSIS
#include <bltTree.h> unsigned int Blt_TreeNodeId(node) ARGUMENTS
Blt_TreeNode node (in) Node whose ID is to be returned. _________________________________________________________________ DESCRIPTION
This procedure returns the node serial number. The node serial number is useful for programs that export the tree data object to the Tcl programming level. Since node labels (and therefore pathnames) are not unique, the ID can be used to uniquely identify a node. The arguments are as follows: node The node whose serial number is returned. The serial number of the root node for example is always 0. RETURNS
The serial number of the node. Nodes are given a unique serial number when they are created. You can use the ID to later retrieve the node using Blt_TreeGetNode. EXAMPLE
The following example prints the ID of a node. printf("root ID is %s ", Blt_TreeNodeId(node)); KEYWORDS
Tcl_TreeCreateNode, Tcl_TreeDeleteNode BLT
