What is serial?

Serial is a cross-platform, simple to use library for using serial ports on computers. This library provides a C++, object oriented interface for interacting with RS-232 like devices on Linux and Windows.

Want to use it with ROS(Robot Operating System)? No problem, it compiles as a unary stack.
