Hi Ben,
Yes, as you have said the trick is getting the ascii numbers to be characters. Marc Lavalee's objects are .pd_linux and I have not yet looked into the issues of recompiling the source for XP and OS X but it seems from your next message that you have; so how about compiling an ascii.pd and an ascii.pd_darwin for all us hardware types? We can post them at aid.interaccess.org etc. I want to use the FTDI 232 with AID and PD. converting to ascii is the only thing in my way right now.
If you do I will write up some user docs for using comport on OS X, which are sorely missing.

hey piksel HW people,
In case you don't know from other lists (like pd-list) I've been involved in a project called AID that is a GPL microcontroller board for artists. We've used with python and PD and it uses a MAX232 for serial, and we've also played with the FTDI usb-serial package.
aid.interaccess.org
Also Marc Lavalee has written a couple wrapper objects for comport (ascii2any and any2ascii) that may the byte lists to symbols and such so you can send "normally" formated terminal messages. I think these are in CVS, but a quick google search should bring them up.
please subscribe to the aid mailinglist aid@interaccess.org since we're always looking for help and to spread the knowledge!
Ben.
Hey - By the looks of it, that module will show up just like a regular serial port as PD is concerned - so the serial capabilities available for PD should handle it as such. (I've used comport successfully in the past on winXP) http://iem.kug.ac.at/ritsch/programmier/pd_externals/ -David M.

hi,
Just wanna make a little survey before getting my hands dirty.
Is there anyone at anytime working on FTDI 232 / 245 module (http://www.dontronics.com/giga.html#usbmod2) with PD?
