Hi,
I'm developing a mod for Scratch that will allow controlling an
educational
robot via Bluetooth. I'm using SerialPort2 class that is included in
Scratch
plugin and allows opening ports by name. Everything works fine BUT, when
I
send commands in a loop, and the connection is lost (i.e. the robot was
powered off), the VM freezes. I tried forking the port nextPutAll like
that:
timer := Delay forMilliseconds: 1000.
port := SerialPort2 new.
port openPortNamed:'COM14' baud:57600.
process := [port nextPutAll:'test'. Transcript show:'port'.] forkAt: 1.
[timer wait. Transcript show:'delay'. process terminate.] forkAt: 7.
but with no result. Is there any way to write to a serial port with
timeout?

I can't help you with the SerialPort issue, but the process priorities 1
and 7 are definitely bad. Since the idle process uses priority 10, your
processes will never run. Try using something between 11 and 39, or use
the named priorities:
Processor userBackgroundPriority
Processor systemBackgroundPriority

Well, at first I tried using larger numbers, but it seems, that my VM
has maximum priority equal to 8. Processor userBackgroundPriority
prints 3 and Processor userInterruptPriority prints 5.

hi Marcos,
Welcome. I hope you are having fun with it. First, I've updated the
subject to be more specific. That makes it easier for us to track.
Hope that is okay.
A few queries then to narrow down the scope of your query..
You say 'windows' but use all lower case.
Do you mean 'Windows' as in Microsoft Windows?
Also which version?
By 'system directory', do you mean 'C:\Windows\System' or
'C:\Windows\System32' or some other protected directory?
You imply that you already know how to delete a file outside the system
directory. What is the code you used that was successful for that, which
fails with a system directory?
What things have you tried already?
* Can you delete the required file outside of Seaside, just Pharo 1.3 ?
* Can you delete the required file outside of Pharo 1.3, from Windows
Explorer, and from the command-line ?
btw, You may find the following of interest...

I'm not an expert, but with answers to those questions I hope I'll be
able to help you.
cheers -ben
