Timeout not right amount of time

[ZacharyInDallas]

I'm running under Linux. I set the setComPortTimeouts, but the timeout does not happen in the right amount of time. I am using readLine to do the reads.

Using TIMEOUT_READ_SEMI_BLOCKING, a value of 50000 gives 25 seconds rather than 50 seconds. Using TIMEOUT_READ_SEMI_BLOCKING, a value of 60000 gives 10 seconds rather than 50 seconds. Using TIMEOUT_READ_BLOCKING, a value of 50000 gives 2:28 rather than 50 seconds.

serialPort.setComPortTimeouts (SerialPort.TIMEOUT_READ_SEMI_BLOCKING, 50000, 0); // gives 25 seconds for semi-blocking, 2:28 for full blocking

I also tried using readLine in a SerialPortDataListener. The same timeouts don't work at all there.

You say you are using readLine(), so I assume that means you're wrapping something in a BufferedReader somewhere? If that's the case, please just do a plain read() on the SerialPort object and see if it times out as expected. Wrapping your read calls (and using a newline-delimited read such as readLine()) will definitely affect the timing of the method returns, which has nothing to do with jSerialComm. Please post back if your raw read() calls are not timing out as expected. Thanks!
