Usability of Ruby/SerialPort on Win32

S

Stephan Kämper

Hi all,

I'm tinkering with the SerialPort library from here:

http://ruby-serialport.rubyforge.org/

As it seems the package is unfortunately loosing bytes now and then.
My observation (and what I do) is as follows:

I'm reading from a devices that sends data regularly and reliably. I am
pretty confident that the device IS sending the data correctly, since I
tried a couple of serial port monitors which show the correct data.
Another tool specialised on that device didn't show up any data leakage
either.

Has anyone made similar experiences with SerialPort?

Should I try another serial port library altogether? I could try
Win32serial, but I won't like loosing platform independency. (But then
of course, nobody is interested in how you compute the wrong answers.)

Happy Rubying

Stephan
