Seeking Tutorials on Serial Port I/O in Squeak

Hello Squeakers,

For some time now I have been building capacity in myself and my students to engage handcrafted peripherals in Squeak programs. Are there any programming tutorials which taper a new learner into this type of venture in maybe EToys with some added Smalltalk code?

I just finished a class project in which I created a custom
morph, with etoys support (custom tile selectors), and connected
it to an external USB port via FFI and a vendor library. The
project was a Gauge Morph, to which a tile script was attached
that read a new temperature from the usb port on each morph
tick.

The code is at http://www.squeaksource.com/gauge.html . I tried
to well-comment the complex parts (like how to add custom tile
selectors to custom morphs)

A demo project is at
http://www.public.asu.edu/~mtfulmer/GaugeProject.002.pr . You
will need to load the mcz package first

Good Day Mathew,

I am very encouraged by your help. I will be studying your code and perhaps get back to you with further questions.

Hello Mathew,

I'm having trouble viewing the project in the Squeak Plugin. I was able to load, into my plugin image, all the .mcz files from your project page at the SqueakSource site with the exception of files "20" and "21". I'm new to the use of these files. Is it possible for me to get a copy of the .pr file to run in 3.9 full image?

Thanks for the time.

Eric
