Yes I saw the jamod project in my searches. Would I be better to create an interface with Perl?<br />

Well if you use Java and Cricket, you're going to have to go through two interpreters (Java + Perl) before you even get at anything.<br />

Possibly - you're far more likely to find a Perl interpreter on a Linux box than a Java one, but i suppose it also depends on your degree of familiarity with each of the two

you can use jamod to access the port and have cricket use the output.<br />
<br />
might also find something useful at:<br />

Sorry - i can't give you any code - i'm completely unfamiliar with the APIs. There should be samples in the downloads though

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
