I am trying to write data from Pd to Arduino. Has anyone used
[comport] to write out serial data before? Any example patches? I can only
get TX_OVERRUNS errors.

If CTS/RTS pins aren't connected properly then the computer's UART
might be supposing that the device is not there and so it will accumulate
data until the buffer overflows, a situation which gets trapped and
becomes a TX_OVERRUNS.

No data ever gets thru when writing to the serial port, and on
reading works fine as it is. So I don't think CTS/RTS is required.
Its not used on GNU/Linux or Mac OS X.
