This is a fantastic update....With access to the PC's com ports ARC can control other serial devices remotely over Bluetooth (or hard wired) like servo control boards (Lynxmotion SSC-32) and dare I say Arduinos.... Brilliant....

This looks great. Thanks once more DJ.

However pardon my ignorance. I know a Com port on a computer is a communication port and a serial port. I know the EZB V4 can now send and receive serial commnads through it's UART ports. How is this Com command different from the UART commands and what can this now command do for me?

@Dave, This is for controlling the Computer's COM port, not the EZ-B COM port. also, slightly different protocol. The UARTs are TTL serial, a standard computer com port is RS232 (although adapters are cheap).

This allows for ARC to control serial devices connected directly to the computer.

@Dave..... Being able to use the pc com ports allows to send information back and forth to other devices sans ezb4... Meaning you can control other devices without using the ezb4 at all.... However, most likely when I use the com port functions it will be in conjunction with the ezb4... After all nothing compares to the ezb4's advanced features....

Much faster and user friendly compared to pyserial. Amazing work DJ .

OK, I think I see now. However to control these other devices and the computer it's self I expect you need to send the commands ARC. Would the script command look much like the SendSerial or Uart command? I guess I could download this new release and find out for my self (but where would be the fun in that for you guys? )

EDIT: Never mind answering this. I just downloaded it and it's all there in the Script editor.

Hats off DJ, just brilliant, Com ports, yay! I have use for this !

Could one use these adapters to make a wireless RS-232 connection to a serial device?
