SwiftSerial

Swift Serial

This project began its life as yeokm1's SwiftSerial. He has since archived the project and was kind enough to link this project going forward.

Getting started

import SwiftSerial

...

// setup
let serialPort = SerialPort(path: "/dev/cu.usbmodem1234") // you'll need to find the correct device on your own, but this is what it will resemble on a mac
try serialPort.openPort()

serialPort.setSettings(
	receiveRate: 115200,
	transmitRate: 115200,
	minimumBytesToRead: 1)


// read output
Task {
	let readStream = try serialPort.asyncLines()

	for await line in readStream {
		print(line, terminator: "")
	}
}

// send data
try serialPort.writeString("foo")
// or
try serialPort.writeData(Data([1,2,3,4]))

What's New?

• Modernized and Swiftier syntax
• TABS!
  • Modular indentation style, allowing for anyone to read the code however it reads best to them
• Broke separate symbols into their own files
• Monitoring output and delivering via AsyncStream for reading instead of the old polling, or dare I say, omniscience, method, where you need to know exactly how many bytes or lines to read.
• Thread safety
