Serial device (e.g., Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or other microcontrollers)
Computer with Python and PySerial library installedCode
```python
import serial# Open the serial port (e.g., COM3 on Windows or /dev/ttyUSB0 on Linux/macOS)
ser = serial.Serial('COM3', 9600, timeout=1)# Send a string to the serial device
ser.write(b'Hello, world!')# Read data from the serial device
response = ser.readline()
print(response.decode())# Close the serial port
ser.close()
```
### Example 2: Arduino and Serial Communication (Windows, macOS, and Linux)This example demonstrates how to use the PL2303HX cable with an Arduino board to send and receive data from a computer using the Arduino Serial library.Hardware RequirementsPL2303HX USB To TTL Converter Cable
Arduino board (e.g., Arduino Uno or Arduino Nano)
Computer with Arduino IDE installedCode (Arduino Side)
```c
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600); // Initialize serial communication at 9600 bps
}void loop() {
if (Serial.available() > 0) {
String incomingData = Serial.readStringUntil('
');
Serial.print("Received: ");
Serial.println(incomingData);
}
}
```
Code (Computer Side)
```python
import serial# Open the serial port (e.g., COM3 on Windows or /dev/ttyUSB0 on Linux/macOS)
ser = serial.Serial('COM3', 9600, timeout=1)# Send a string to the Arduino board
ser.write(b'Hello, Arduino!')# Read data from the Arduino board
response = ser.readline()
print(response.decode())# Close the serial port
ser.close()
```
