Serial Terminal

This repository contains a Progressive Web App that allows the user to communicate with a locally connected serial device through an interactive terminal. This provides a demonstration of the Serial API.

This API is currently available behind a flag in Chrome 77 and later. Enable chrome://flags/#enable-experimental-web-platform-features to get started. The API design is still in flux so the latest Chrome dev-channel release is recommended.

Privacy

This application is served statically and is cached for offline use. No analytics are collected. All communication with the serial device happens locally.
