SerialPorts

SerialPorts.jl lets you work with devices over serial communication with Julia. It is designed to mimic regular file IO as in the Base Julia library.

This package requires PySerial, which is used through PyCall. Conda is used as a fallback so cross-platform installation is simple. Overtime, one of the long term objectives should be to rewrite this in Julia for better portability, installation, and performance.

Documentation

A SerialPort can be treated like any other IO stream in Julia.

A brief example:

using SerialPorts
s = SerialPort("/dev/ttyACM1", 250000)
write(s, "G1 X1000 F10000\n")
# if this is connected to a 3D printer it's not my fault if it breaks.
close(s)

open, close, read, write, nb_available, readavailable, are all directly defined for SerialPort.

In order to see the attached serial devices, use list_serialports().

The Arduino submodule provides functionality for manipulating Arduinos over serial. SerialPorts.Arduino.reset(s::SerialPort) will reset an Arduino.
