@hackage serialport0.2.0

% Haskell serialport

Name

serialport - Cross platform serial port library.

Description

This library provides a way to interface the serial port from haskell in a cross platform way.

Tested on the following platforms:

• Linux (Arch, Fedora 11, OpenSuse 11.1)
• Windows XP 32-bit

This library is far from finished and is currently in a "Eureka, I can talk to a raw serial device on Linux and Windows" state. I released it because some people were looking for something like this. Especially on Windows it was a challenge.

Install

Install using the standard Hackagedb way:

cabal update
cabal install serialport
