Deprecating this project because I have not maintained it in a long time, and do not have the time or need to do so any longer.

EventMachine serial port functionality that should work on all* ruby flavors (including MRI, jruby; and various operating systems including linux, windows, and apple)

(* for some values of all)

Uses the following gem for serial port connectivity: https://github.com/hybridgroup/rubyserial

Essentially copies this gem: https://github.com/railsbob/em-serialport

but replaces the serialport gem with the rubyserial gem, and does some file descriptor handling.

There is currently as of this writing no license on the em-serialport gem, so hopefully this amount of attribution is satisfactory.

CHANGELOG

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'em-rubyserial'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install em-rubyserial

EM.run do
  serial = EventMachine.open_serial('/dev/ttyS2', 9600, 8)
  serial.send_data "foo"

  serial.on_data do |data|
    puts data
  end
end
