Hi,

I have to read from an (virtual) comport to receive the event from a photosensor.
There is no protocol, just if something passes through, there is at pin x power (pins 4,6 and 7,8).

I've seen the example for the COM Port usage with asio, sofar I've not seen anything to monitor a single/multiple pins.

Also I am not sure, if I need to, would it be enough, to just connect and then perform an async_read on the comport?
Actually I don't have to get the data really, as its probably not really "data", all I need to know is when data comes in.

Is asio the right library to handle this? Are there other options?

regards

Jens Weller
