This is a cross-platform library for interfacing with rs-232 serial like ports written in C++. It provides a modern C++ interface with a workflow designed to look and feel like PySerial, but with the speed and control provided by C++. -
+

This library is in use in several robotics related projects and can be built and installed to the OS like most unix libraries with make and then sudo make install, but if you wish to use it with ROS then it will build as a unary stack. -
+

The library has two main components currently: Serial and SerialListener. -
+

Serial is a class that provides the basic interface common to serial libraries (open, close, read, write, etc..) and requires no extra dependencies. -
+

The SerialListener class is a convenience class that provides a method for easily asynchronously reading from a serial port, we have found this setup useful when interfacing with devices that send data asynchronously as well as use command-response type message interleaved. The SerialListener has an extra dependency of Boost for C++, which provides some feature not yet fully adopted by all C++ compilers like function types, shared_ptr's, and convenient threading.
