AW: Controlling hardware with lua (via USB interface)?

[<Goetz.Kluge@...>]

Hi Asko and all the others,


Thanks for the hints to and from Asko.

Using the COM interface perhaps is the most pragmatical solution now.
If there is a machine with USB only, I'll use an USB/RS232 converter.

Best regards
Goetz

Use LuaX and the serial port control bits.  They can be programmed 
individually, and your script will work as well on both Windows and 
Linux.
