Hello Simon,

This is the function:

setSerialPortParams
public abstract void setSerialPortParams(int baudrate,
int dataBits,
int stopBits,
int parity) throws UnsupportedCommOperationException
Sets serial port parameters.

This is my code:

this.port.setSerialPortParams(9600,
this.port.DATABITS_8,
this.port.STOPBITS_1,
this.port.PARITY_NONE);

My code does work with the previous version of scriptographer though (from within Illustrator CS2 that is)

Hey Simon,

Thanks for helping out. The constants are part of the java class, here's some more code. Do you know if there were any changes considering the handling of java classes in general? I'm still wondering why it does work with the previous version of scriptographer.

Thanks again,

Thijs.

importPackage(Packages.gnu.io);
importPackage(java.io);
importPackage(java.util);

function Plotter() {
var symbols = new java.text.DecimalFormatSymbols();
symbols.decimalSeparator = '.';
this.formater = new java.text.DecimalFormat("0.0#", symbols);
this.inPath = false;
}

Plotter.prototype.getPort = function() {
var portList = CommPortIdentifier.getPortIdentifiers();
while (portList.hasMoreElements()) {
var portId = portList.nextElement();
if (portId.name == "/dev/tty.KeySerial1") {
return portId;
}
}

}

Plotter.prototype.connect = function(speed, pressure) {
var portId = this.getPort();
this.port = portId.open("Plotter", 100);
this.port.setSerialPortParams(9600,
this.port.DATABITS_8,
this.port.STOPBITS_1,
this.port.PARITY_NONE);

Hi Thijs and Simon,

That's weird... Accessing static fields through object instances is supported, so this.port.DATABITS_8 should give correct results.

Also, this line should not be needed, as you already import the full gnu.io package:

var SerialPort = Packages.gnu.io.SerialPort;

I am looking into this now.

Thanks for looking into it, and Simon, I haven't tried your solution yet, but thanks for the input!

The lat version broke this code because I accidentaly removed support for accessing static fields on instances. I will add it again in the next version, but until then Simon's workaround does the trick, and the code is actually cleaner that way, as it is more Java like.

Ah, that explains!. Well thanks again for the intercontinental support.

I've fixed the bug that was causing this. It will be in the next version. Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks alot for the fix!. The workaround didn't seem to fix everything though, as I wasnt able to set the flowcontrol with the following code:

this.port.setFlowControlMode(SerialPort.FLOWCONTROL_RTSCTS_OUT);

But I'll try again when the new version is here.
