This document describes how to open, configure, read, and write a serial port. My original intent was for people to use this to write their own dashboard viewer, but you could just as easily use it for anything else relating to serial ports, such as writing your own PBASIC IDE.

You may use, distribute, and copy this document as you see fit as long as the original author's name remains intact and with the document.
