Index of Module serial

Module: serial

Module serial provides cross platform rs232 (serial) bindings. This implementation assumes that the communication flow control is completely controlled by the external device, which is the case with most instruments.

Note: Android USB requires the usb-serial-for-android library to be included in the applications LIBRARIES file. It uses https://code.google.com/p/usb-serial-for-android/.
