.NET Serial Port Programming on Linux using C#

In this tutorial, We will learn to communicate with an Arduino board connected to a Linux PC (Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Fedora etc.) serial port using C# and .NET Platform.

With the release of the opensource .NET Platform by Microsoft, it becomes possible to run .NET programs on other operating systems like Linux and macOS. Earlier similar capability was provided by the Mono Platform. 

Simple Serial - C#, WinForms based Serial Port Communication Program

Simple Serial is a WinForms based GUI Serial Port  Program for embedded Developers written in C# for interacting with external devices like Arduino or Microcontroller boards like Raspberry Pi.

Simple Serial program uses WinForms for creating its GUI elements and run on Windows 10 or Windows 11 using the .NET Platform.

 

Simple Python tkinter (ttkbootstrap) GUI interface for serial port communication with Arduino

In this tutorial ,We will learn to build a simple crossplatform GUI based serial port communication with Arduino Microcontroller using Python and tkinter (ttkbootstrap).To make the interface look nice we will use the theme extension for tkinter called ttkbootstrap which provides modern flat style themes.

Native Serial Port Programming on Linux (Unix) system using C and terminos API

In this tutorial, You will learn How to program the Serial Ports of your Linux System using C Language and the native termios API .We will then send and receive data from an Microcontroller board like Arduino UNO (Mega) or MSP430 Launchpad connected to your Linux PC Virtual Serial Port.

Here we will be using C language to program the serial port on a Linux Operating system (Ubuntu/ Linux Mint).
