Rs232 Serial Communication

[CodeDemon]

I have recently come up with a very crazy idea. I would like Love to be able to read and write to an rs232 serial port. I have found a library for LuaForWindows that allows serial communication, but I have been unable to get Love to load it. Is there any possible way of doing what I want or is it beyond what Love is capable of?

Lol, very crazy idea! Didn't that came even disabled in new pc bios?

The device connects through usb, but to the computer it looks and acts like a serial port.

I'm not sure if LÖVE 0.7.2 supports loading binary modules.

LÖVE 0.8.0 can load binary modules that are placed in the global LÖVE save directory (iirc).
Download a recent beta build from https://love2d.org/builds/, then put the library dll in %appdata%/love and try requiring it.

I added the dll file to %appdata%\love but it says it cant find it.

Works for me (on linux).

You can put the dll with love.exe on windows, works both 0.7.2 and 0.8.0

Code: Select all

require("luars232")

In 0.7.2, it doesn't work if you place the dll in %appdata%\love, but in 0.8.0 it works.
