B4R Question B4R Serial Connector question

[Toley]

I'm just wondering why the serial connector is provided as an external B4J program. Isn't possible to compile it as an executable and include it as a kind of plugin into B4R?

Because you want to be able to modify it (and you can - B4J ! ), see this example of use https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/hb100-rf-sensor.73817/#post-470132.

Yes this is very powerful usage. But one don't prevent the other. You can use a "modified" version if you like or write your own B4J app. But I still believe this is not a good reason for not being a part of B4R. When you use arduino IDE you can open the terminal rigth from itself. No need to use an external program.

There is a built-in logger in B4R IDE. You don't need to use the external serial connector.
