Thread: How To Stream Data From A USB (Com Port) Win32

what are you trying to do exactly? capture usb traffic? I think they make data loggers for that. I think trying to do it in real time with a serial port is a waste of time, because even the slowest usb port is ~100 times faster than the fastest typical serial port.

Here is my awesome serial I/O class for all to enjoy:

Code:

#include "Win32Serial.h"

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <cctype>
using namespace std;

using namespace Win32Serial;
 
int main()
{
    CWin32Serial com3;

    if (!com3.Open(3, CBR_115200, 'N', 8, 1, FC_Disabled))
    {
        cerr << "Failed to open COM3, ec = " << GetLastError() << endl;
        return 1;
    }//if

    BYTE b;
    while (com3.ReadByte(b))
    {
        int c = (unsigned)b;

        if (c == '\r' || c == '\n')
            cout << endl;
        else if (!isprint(c))
            cout << "." << flush;
        else
            cout << (char)c << flush;
    }//while

    return 0;
}//main

may I suggest that, instead of passing a literal 'N' character for the parity bit, why not define an enum with PARITY_NONE, PARITY_EVEN, and PARITY_ODD values? I think it would make the code more clear.
