First I hope this is the correct place cos the other RS232-posts I've searched for seems to be spead out.
I've been looking to solve a problem I got with my SGS5 and using Aten UC232A
to conntect it to RS232 deivces. The problem is that I either won't get a connection at all or it disconnects after like 1 seconds to 1 minute and after that i'ts tough as "frell" to try to get it to work again without waiting for eg. 30 minutes.
I've seen people using their Androids with Arduino so it got to be something that I missed. I can also say that I tested this with a friends SGS5 with another ROM and it has the exact same problem. My SGS5 has StockROM and Lollipop (5.0) kernel.
As I've understood it all I need to do is to install a terminal program, in my case I tried these: 'USB Serial Terminal Lite' and 'Slick USB 2 Serial Terminal'.
It won't matter if the device itself is connected to the UC232A since it's the UC232A that gets disconnected all the time.
The device I'm trying to get into is a radar and since it only gives me a few seconds to type in the controll characters before going into run mode again (after I switched it to settings) I need the terminal to have lots of macros that I can save 'cos there's no time to fiddle with the keyboard.
Also, since this is supposed to be used at work later, it would great if it didn't need 'root access' since most there won't do that, but if it's the the only thing to fix it, it'll have to do.
So know my question is, is this just a dream to get this to work or am I missing something.
