Best C++ Serial Library?

How fast do you need to go?

It's too bad you're not using C#. I've done serial comm with both. C+

• is a nightmare to code for a serial port. C# was quite straightforward. Let me know if you want my C++ sample code. I should be able to dig it up.

Its too bad you're using windows. Its a world easier on linux. ;)

Serial as in RS232?

Only ask because I had a frustrating time trying to connect at 9600 baud to a PC. I started by sending to it from an interrupt driven buffer, ended up sending against a timer tick so I could slow it down.

Even tried writing an interrupt handler for the PC, enabled the UART FIFO's, still lost data.

Worked under DOS but not under Windows, think I may need a serial to USB adaptor.

Haha, that's actually the SSC we're using I believe. I suppose I could learn C# instead, as long as it's pretty fast (I think our compass does 10 or 100 hz). I can't use Linux because we're running on an OQO and getting drivers for all its stuff would probably be a pain in the rear. Side note: Never use the OQO Model 01(+) for a robotics project. It gets hot as heck in a few minutes of use. Don't know if the Model
