Since the XP8 came out, I have been trying RS232 control
of components using the new RS232 library: what I have
seen is that RS232 does not always give better/ faster
control than infrared
Springs is fighting with this 232 latency issue in another thread - it seems to be an XP8 problem rather than a RS232 vs. IR thing. According to Springs, he had to switch back to using the RP6 to fix "delays" in the 232 command response.
I'm definitely keeping an eye on this issue and would like to see it solved before I jump on the XP8 bandwagon!
