Bindings

The Bindings provide a low level interface to work with your serialport. It is possible to use them alone but it's usually easier to use them with an interface.

@serialport/bindings-cpp bindings for Linux, Mac and Windows
@serialport/binding-interface as an interface to use if you're making your own bindings
@serialport/binding-mock for a mock binding package for testing

Run npm test to ensure everything is working properly
If you have a serial loopback device (TX to RX) you can run run TEST_PORT=/path/to/port npm test for a more comprehensive test suite. (Defaults to 115200 baud customize with the TEST_BAUD env.) You can use an arduino with the test/arduino-echo sketch.
