Using the cRIO serial port in Java
I am looking for a Jave code snippet of how to configure the cRIO serial port and how to use it. Can it take over the System.Out functionality?

I am also looking for code to do formatted number to string conversion. Is there any native Java class? I need something simple. I do not need all of the Swing overhead.

I am planning on sending data out the cRIO serial port into a PC running HyperTerminal to make an elaborate disgnostic screen. I will send it ANSI escape sequences to control the cursor. I've done this in C and it is a great tool for the team to maintain the robot.
