public interface ISerialController
Methods
CreateSerialPort(SerialPortName, int, int, Parity, StopBits, int)
Initializes a new instance of an ISerialPort.
When parsing text data, we recommend using the more modern, thread-safe ISerialMessagePort.

ISerialPort CreateSerialPort(SerialPortName portName, int baudRate = 9600, int dataBits = 8, Parity parity = Parity.None, StopBits stopBits = StopBits.One, int readBufferSize = 1024)
Returns
Meadow.Hardware.ISerialPort: The created serial port.
Parameters
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Meadow.Hardware.SerialPortName | portName | The SerialPortName of the port to use. |
System.Int32 | baudRate | The speed, in bits per second, of the serial port. |
System.Int32 | dataBits | The number of data bits expected in the serial message frame. Default is 8. |
| Meadow.Hardware.Parity | parity | The Parity enum describing what type of cyclic-redundancy-check (CRC) bit, if any, should be expected in the serial message frame. Default is Parity.None. |
| Meadow.Hardware.StopBits | stopBits | The StopBits describing how many bits should be expected at the end of every character in the serial message frame. Default is StopBits.One. |
System.Int32 | readBufferSize | The size, in bytes, of the read buffer. Default is 1024. |
