This is driving me absolutely nuts. I have a Sharp Aquos, which has a
serial port. You can send some very basic commands to the TV - like ON,
OFF, set the volume, etc.
When I connect via minicom, I can send "POWR0 " I get back OK and the
TV shuts off.
When I echo "POWR0 " via the shell, I get back ERR and the TV doesn't
shut off.
Is anyone controlling a Sharp TV via serial?
And if so, WTF is the difference between minicom and
stty -F $PORT 9600 -crtscts cs8 -parenb -cstopb raw
echo "POWR0 "
????
