I am currently working on a project that involves a 4 Port A/V switch. This switch can be controlled via RS-232.
The computer that will interface with the switch runs Vista. I would like to create a sidebar gadget that has 4 buttons- 1 for each port on the switch. When the user presses the button, it switches to that port.
I have done a bit of googling, and it seems that there isn't a very good way to interface between javascript and rs-232.
Does anyone have any suggestions for me?
Thanks!
