Serial port configuration PicoCOM4

  • Can any one help quickly?


    How do I switch off the hardware handshake lines RTS1 und CTS1 within the serial port, so that I can use them for the digital I/O?


    I need to drive PC4-Pin 69 as an output.

    Mit freundlichen Grüßen

  • Hello,
    please test it. It should work by default! DIO is loaded after COMx.


    When using COM you should specify:
    dcb.fOutxCtsFlow= 0;
    dcb.fRtsControl = RTS_CONTROL_DISABLE;

  • Hai there,


    thank's for the quick answer. I have implemented this in our Software alredy, but PicoCOM4 does not respond as expexted.


    Instead I am getting a strange puls siglal every one milisecond, see e-mail attachment.


    I can not drive pin 69.


    Please help.

  • Hello,
    no attachment found in your previous mail!
    But when the workaround above does not work a fast solution is not possible - we have to check the driver.

  • There was a more general problem of using IO46 (Pin 69).
    We will release a new kernel image today where this problem is resolved.
