I having trouble hitting the serial port while the player is running. I want to change the port speed and other attributes.

The code works fine if the player isn't running but I get weird results (not consistent) when the player is running.

Is there a simple way to stop the player from messing with the port or for a program to lock out the player from the port? I have tried the -s- option but it didn't help.

I need to hit the port for gps, obdii and accelerometer apps.

Cheers,

Rex.
