Answer 1

This year old off and on project is almost done, but I am just having problems reading back information from a serial port. The problem isnt with the port, but how I am getting the information and how it is coming across. I writing to the device, and then I ask it for it's configuration and I want to compare what I sent it to what it got, making an error checker.
Here is the code that is reading from the buffer:
case SerialPortEvent.DATA_AVAILABLE:
            byte[] readBuffer = new byte[30];
            try {
                while (inputStream.available() > 0)
                       int numBytes = inputStream.read(readBuffer);
                System.out.print(new String(readBuffer));
            } catch (IOException e) {}
            break;
        }Now, if I use System.out.print(new String(readBuffer)); (notice it
is just print) I get something like this:
oardna
autos
baudra
bootcmd
bootdelay=2
bootfilmips.ari
Nice and pretty. But if I use *System.out.println(new
String(readBuffer));* , which as I understand it is what the device is
sending me, I will get the following output:
boardna
me=Muscat
autos
tart=yes
baudra
de=9600
bootcmd=boot ap
boot
lay=2
bootfile=
mips.ari
Any ideas on how I can get the actual output to look like the first
example? That way I can verify the correct information is input for
error checking.
