    Question Read COM Port with C

    Hello,
    I am trying to write a C program to read a RS232 COM port, but I can find very little information on how to do it. (I am using Windows.) Thank you for your advice.

    Search the forum - there's been several posts in the last couple of weeks on the subject, which all have been answered with links to even older threads.

    I'm not aware of the other threads matsp is talking, but you can also take a look directly at MSDN website.
