I wrote a library for this, I put off posting it because I wanted to add some more interesting stuff for error checking. Its short so I am putting the code in line. Printer Admin - Print Job Manager 6.0 is an easy to use print management software allowing management, control, quota, limit, tracking, count, audit and printing restrictions in Windows / Linux / Unix and Mac OS clients. I didnt find this elsewhere, but its pretty simple so it may be on the site already. Note if you dont want to use the library, you can simply lift the setserial sub. FYI - I have worked out a couple of tricks to check for parity errors if you get into that. The best one requires editing wiring_serial.c, but I found a kluge that can be done from a program. File must be named SerialExtension.cpp. The #endif at the bottom of SerialExtension.h is missing the associated if, and if I remove it there are a few other errors because it looks like something is missing or redefining something. What is the #if line at the top of the file? Are you really sure about the 0 stop bit requirement? Rockman exe episode 1. Install cygwin windows 7. I say that because asynchronous communication hardware is built around the requirement for the stop bit and start bit to determine the ending of one character and the starting of the next, it just doesn't work without the stop bit. I've worked with the RS-232 asynchronous comm links for many decades and I've never heard of a zero stop bit ability. Now there are synchronous communications links that use no start or stop bits but rather either an independent or impeded clock to keep the sender and receiver in step for character transmission. So might you be working with a serial synchronus communicating device? Note: the AVR processor can be programmed to use synchronous communications, however with the standard Arduino serial software commands and a new clock wire would have to be wired between the Arduino and the external device. That's exactly right. Remember that after a single character with a proper stop bit detected, there may be no further characters for several seconds or even mins depending on the application. Once a receiver detects that a expected stop bit is proper, it is willing to wait forever for only one further event, a start bit. That's why it's called asynchronous communications because the receiving end has no advance information on when and if the next character may be sent. Interesting the purpose for more then a single stop bits (1&1/2 stop bits was an option in older times as well as 2 stop bits) dates back to the old mechanical teletype machines that used asyn communications. It allowed a little more time for receiving machines to 'catch up' in case the transmitter was sending slightly faster then the agreed on baud rate. The half bit in the old 5 data bit standards also allowed synchronisation to a continuous stream of data. For example a standard way of keeping the channel open (free from other signals) was to transmit a continuous string of 'RYRYRYRYRYRY.' These characters were chosen because they were at each end of the mechanical rotation limit of the print head. This was transmitted over short wave. Now if you tuned into this continuous stream you could start anywhere in it. If you had a stop bit time of exactly one or two bits you could tap into this stream and miss read it mistaking start bits and stop bits for data bits. The half period stop bit prevented this from happening.
