Hello,

Is there any way to talk to tty serials using Deno ? Can I help contribute if yes ?

Best,

• Windows support
• macOS support
• Linux support
• Follow Web Serial API

An example to list all serial ports present, is like a hello word example for this kind of lib.

People should just type deno run <address_of_the_example> in their terminal and get to know if the lib can detect its own serial ports.

Normally if the lib pass this step, they believe it may be work in their project.

You should also add up above command line in the README.md so lib's lead can just copy and past in your terminal.

Note: I can pull request this change if necessary. Just let me know.

Thank you for write this amazing lib.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I could not make the example to work on Windows 10.

Here is the reproduction of the error:

The link in the "try out" section of the readme.file is broken.

╰─❯ deno run --unstable --allow-ffi https://deno.land/x/serialport@0.1.0/examples/print_ports.ts
error: Module not found "https://deno.land/x/[email protected]/examples/print_ports.ts".

I could not found any "serialport" lib in the Deno/X repository: https://deno.land/x?query=serialport

Do you think it should be possible to call a Rust library from Deno using (using dlopen or something else) ?

Because we eventually could study to use the rust serial ports lib and just make a bridge between deno and the rust lib. I don't know if this would be valid solution in Deno.

Do you know if this should works for deno?

I can build and test the rust side, eventually.

PS: It seems that the maintainer of the rust serial lib, is the same mantainer of the node.js serial-lib.
