just out of curiosity: if there is a solution, that works well for [tcpserver], couldn't it be applied also to [comport]?
Maybe. But I think you should be able to use [comport] with no hardware handshaking enabled and send data even if no cable is attached. Sometimes the absence of one of the two input handshake signals prevents the serial hardware from sending. Also if an error occurred in the reception of serial data it may not be handled properly in [comport]. So I'm not sure what is causing this particular crash, since HC said that it happened when the remote device was disconnected but gave no further detail.
iirc, on linux at least, [comport] makes pd hang, _whenever_ the other end disappears. i.e.:
- pulling out the usb-cable, while the arduino is connected
- turning off an rfcomm device
i should test again, if pd hangs immediately, or if only hangs sending another message/a certain amount of bytes to [comport].
