Hey all
I was about to create a Deken package of comport, but realized, there are some behaviors I don't understand.
I do have some patches that indicate the right outlet of comport did once output some sensible messages, like 'open 1' when the connection is established and 'open 0' when the connection is closed. The help- file lists a whole bunch of messages that would reflect inner state changes of the external. I am currently not able to trigger any of those documented messages.
May some of you can shed some light on this, I would really appreciate it:
* I only get '-1' from right outlet whenever I close a connection or open a different port. It's not documented. What does it mean?
* Even when I compile a version from 2006, I can't get the old behavior back and I still don't get any other message than '-1' on the right outlet. Why is that?
* What is 'verbose $1' about? What are valid verbose levels? I was able to make [comport] print some info with increased verbosity levels.
* Wouldn't it be good if there'd be some 'report' message that would trigger a dump of the current inner state, like 'xonxoff 0, stopbit 2, parity 0' etc.
BTW: I'm using those sources: https://git.iem.at/pd/comport.git (make sure to add --recursive when cloning)
Thanks, Roman
