sim.serialOpen

Opens a serial port (RS-232) for communication. When called from a script, the function can only be called when the simulation is running (and in that case the port is automatically closed at simulation stop)

Synopsis

int result = sim.serialOpen(string portString, int baudRate)

Arguments

  • portString: string specifying the port to open. Under Windows, use something similar to "\\.\COM1". Under MacOS and Linux, use something similar to "/dev/*" (check the "/dev" folder to know what file to specify). Under Linux, you might have to launch CoppeliaSim with super user priviledges in order to access the serial port
  • baudRate: baudrate

Return values

  • result: the port handle
