Hi,
I need to communicate with the netduno mini using the serial communication (FTDI cable --> COM1 on the nedtuino).
Now because I'm using the netduino COM1 for deploying and debugging is it possible to use the COM2 for serial communication with my computer?
I have tried to connect two FTDI cables from my PC and to the COM1 & COM2 on the netduino. I can deploy and debug but it seems I cannot access the COM2.
How can I use them at the same time ? ( COM1 : deploy and debug, COM2 communication with my PC)
Thanks
Using COM1 and COM2 at the same time

yes its possible, but keep in mind one port is rs232 and one is uart, so it wount work with the same ftdi cables, you need different
//edit:
iam using an max232 to step up my ftdi chip for the com2 port for deployment, so i have the uart (com1) free for device to device/pc communication
//edit the code for that would be something like this:
sample 1
sample 2

thanks for the tip.
So I'll deploy via RS232 to keep the COM1 free.
I'll give it a got and I'll let you know
Thanks a lot
