UART Reception

[Sundar]

Hi,

I am trying to communicate with a BlackBox Receiver through UART.
Although i m sending a text file to the reciever through Hyperterminal,
i want to reduce my dependency on the same. So i tried writing a sample
application for the same on Win32 using the standard DCB structure.
Inspite of getting valid output on a shorted Rx-Tx pin of my PC, i m
not getting required ack signals from the reciever. However with a 1ms
character delay on Hyperterminal, i m getting my required output. And
morover to transfer a 105KB file at 115200 bps, it takes about 28
minutes to be done succesfully. I dunno how this time cacluation works.
So i would be glad if someone helps me get thru these blocks.

Off topic. Not portable. Cant discuss it here. Blah, blah, blah.

I'm afraid you're in the wrong newsgroup. You might try
comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.win32.

(Pay no attention to the followup from Kenny McCormack. He's just our
resident troll; he's not here to help you.)

Dude, if you're pissed off at the regulars, take it out on the
regulars. It's one thing to be a dick to someone asking an honest
question. It's another thing to be a dick to someone asking an honest
question *just to express your displeasure with other people being
dicks*.

Sundar, the problem is that specific hardware issues are way outside
the scope of this newsgroup, and the expertise that you need is
probably *not* going to be found here.

If you have a question about C language syntax or semantics, this is
the place to come. Unfortunately, your question has very little to do
with the C language. I suspect the expertise you need would be under
the comp.arch.* hierarchy, but I'm not sure about that.

(See, Kenny, was that *so* hard?)

Wait to see how Kenny reacts to this. Then decide for yourself
whether attempting to communicate with Kenny is ever worth the effort.

And you are???

Did I miss something or was there actual help in the above post?

Yes, and that is what most regulars do.

It's another thing to be a dick to someone asking an honest

So, people, i.e., "regulars," being a "dick" to newbies is acceptable, but
one "dick" preempting another "dick" from being a "dick" in the first place
isn't acceptable? What the hell are you smoking? Smoke some more of it
until you can't respond anymore...

Are you claiming that gives Kenny (or you) license to be an asshole as
well?

I didn't say being a dick was acceptable. I said being a dick just to
make a point was worse than just being a dick.

This shouldn't be difficult to grasp.

So why do you waste your time hanging around here? Why not go
someplace where your blood pressure isn't threatened?

Direction to another newsgroup where there might be actual expertise
relevant to the OPs question counts as help.

(I figured/assumed you say that; try to make that claim)

Not really. Think it through; you'll see that the so-called "help" is
never going to be actually used by the OP. And in this case in
particular, it's very unlikely to be useful, even if actually followed up
upon (Win32 programming these days is all about apps, re-installing the OS,
and, maybe, just maybe programming and if that, it's gonna be .NET - not
low-level stuff like this)

I.e., the rules say that KT must be seen as helpful. Thus, whatever he
does, it must be viewed as being "helpful".

It's more help than you or Pemberton have offered so far.

So tell me, wise, benevolent, and all-knowing Kenny, friend to the
friendless, defender of civility and decorum, where *should* the OP go
for the relevant help? Show us how it should be done. Lead by example.

Currently, I have only three posters filtered in this newsgroup.
You're talking to two of them

Heh. Yeah, I vplonked Pemberton some months ago, but I was feeling
feisty yesterday. Combine a flaky Red Hat virtual image with some
non-deterministically buggy vendor software and my own brain-damaged
code, and you have instant grumpy. Kenny just happened to be the
nearest available dog to kick.

You're acting as if I give a flying fsck, old man.

That's because they're trolls. Help isn't what they offer.

I, for one, feel insulted when people tell me sh*t I already know and/or
is completely useless to me (insert any number of "economist jokes"
here), and walk away smugly feeling that they have been helpful.

The answer is coming - but it is a little complicatd. It has to do with
"is." vs. "why?"
