Hi,

I hope, this subject isn't OT here.

I've been fiddling around for a hole day now, but can't get it working:

I want a serial communication with a uC. The Baud-rate is 115200, 8 bit,
1 stop bit, no parity. I've tested the communication with a
terminal-program (on the same machine) and that works. I also checked
the timing with a scope, and it's OK to.

So now I want to establish a communication from within my C-program
(using djgpp, of course). I do the following:

set propper params with MODE com1:blablabla


FILE* file;
int c;

file = fopen("com1:", "ab");
if (file != NULL) {
  while ((c = fgetc(file)) != EOF)
    printf("%i ", c);
}

What is happening?
I can send characters to the uC that are propperly understood and the uC
is sending the answer. **BUT** I always get 16382 CHR0 on the DOS-side.
If the uC is not answering, I get 0 characters from file.

Oh, if it makes a difference, I (currently) let my program run in a
DOS-box under Win XP pro.

What am I doing wrong?

TIA for any hints,
Nick
