[Gambas-user] using events of serial ports for reading how_?

[PICCORO McKAY Lenz]

well it's a fiscal printer, so there's no sense in tell you taht it's a
epson dot matrix

i put more delay and now event raised! i mean, 0.5 ms in main module event
in the property event!
and 0.1 ms in the read function..

but if i put tyhe delay in any other place that are not in the main there's
no read event raised!

ans somethings does not happened (very rare times)
