Hi, I'm getting started with C++ because our school's robotics club
found last year that Java's (third party) serial libraries are a bit
slow for our needs, so we're intending to split our program into two
parts so that the more speed-critical parts are in C++. What would be
a good C++ serial library to use? My main requirements are just speed
and ease of use. Thanks for the help!

Look here:http://www.seetron.com/ssc.htm
They sell serial port based RC controllers and they also have a free
library for talking to the PC's serial port.

Haha, that's actually the SSC we're using I believe. I suppose I could
learn C# instead, as long as it's pretty fast (I think our compass
does 10 or 100 hz). I can't use Linux because we're running on an OQO
and getting drivers for all its stuff would probably be a pain in the
rear. Side note: Never use the OQO Model 01(+) for a robotics project.
It gets hot as heck in a few minutes of use. Don't know if the Model
02 is better in that regard. I guess I'll check out C# and see how
well it works, we've got 10 weeks to work on this project so I can
afford to play around with stuff a bit.
