Dukemon: Enumeration -> Enumeration<CommPortIdentifier>

This code snippet shows how to find out the available comms ports on your computer.:

<pre>
static void listPorts()
{
java.util.Enumeration<CommPortIdentifier> portEnum = CommPortIdentifier.getPortIdentifiers();
while ( portEnum.hasMoreElements() )
{
CommPortIdentifier portIdentifier = portEnum.nextElement();
System.out.println(portIdentifier.getName() + " - " + getPortTypeName(portIdentifier.getPortType()) );
}
}

static String getPortTypeName ( int portType )
{
switch ( portType )
{
case CommPortIdentifier.PORT_I2C:
return "I2C";
case CommPortIdentifier.PORT_PARALLEL:
return "Parallel";
case CommPortIdentifier.PORT_RAW:
return "Raw";
case CommPortIdentifier.PORT_RS485:
return "RS485";
case CommPortIdentifier.PORT_SERIAL:
return "Serial";
default:
return "unknown type";
}
}
</pre>
