[Forums] Connection with a Port COM (Serial)

Hi Guilherme,

Man... You are swimming in deep water, without safe devices... lol

OutSystems applications, being web applications, have some limitations.

One of them is that the app runs in a browser, for security reasons, basically prevents you from accessing the client machine (hardware included).

So, you will mostly NOT be able to access the com port directly from the OutSystems app.

I recommend reading this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15171522/how-can-a-web-page-read-from-the-users-serial-port-in-the-year-2017

Basically, you will have to create a native app that will be able to connect to your app (websockets or webservice) and you will retrieve the info through it.

Maybe someone else knows an easier way, but I don't think so...

Anyway, good luck!

Cheers

Eduardo Jauch
