Usage Examples

To use this library in your project, make sure to import com.fazecast.jSerialComm.* into your java files. You can then generate a list of all available serial ports on your system (real or virtual), by calling the following static method:

SerialPort.getCommPorts()

This will return an array of SerialPort objects through which you can iterate. See the Javadoc files under Javadoc Library Reference for a complete overview of this library and its methods. Alternately, if you already know the port descriptor of the port you wish to use (e.g., "/dev/ttyS0" or "COM3"), or if you are using this library with pseudo-terminals (e.g., "/dev/pts/14"), you can create a SerialPort object using the following static method:

SerialPort.getCommPort(String portDescriptor)
