Hi Ron,

I do use the Serializer WL on Linux Debian without any problems. However I do not use USB, I use a com port, Java doesn't support USB.

I developed a library in Java that send ascii commands to the board and so far I did not have any issues.

Hello,

I am considering buying a serializer WL board with the USB module.

Does anyone have experience using it ?

Is it as simple as sending some commands over a serial port and getting some responses back ? (a la sending commands to a hayes modem for example ?)

What is in the C++ library ? Is it pretty much the same as what is in the libraries that can be used with MS visual studio ?

Is there a a 'protocol' description/definition for communication with the board?

Is there someone who actually got it to work in Linux/Fedora?

(If it is a simple serial text/ascii based protocol it shouldn't be too difficult.)

sorry for the large number of questions, but I want to know what my options are before I buy the board.

thanks,

Ron
