RXTX serial connection - issue with blocking read()

Question

I am trying to use the RXTX library for blocking serial communication on Windows (XP and 7). I have tested the connection with Hyperterminal in both ends, and it works flawl

Answer 1

Use RXTX-2.2pre2, previous versions have had a bug which prevented blocking I/O from working correctly.

And do not forget to set port to blocking mode:

serialPort.disableReceiveTimeout();
serialPort.enableReceiveThreshold(1);
