# Serial-Comm-Tester
Serial Communications Test Tool written in C# (csharp) .Net (dotNet) Framework in Visual Studio.
Serial Comm Tester is written by Philip Murray and released under the GPL-V2 License.
Contributors and collaborators are welcome !!!!!
This started as a basic Serial communications test tool that i created for when at work to make my life easier working with rs232 , rs485 / serial com ports and to monitor data sent and recieved.
Alot of other Serial programs are BUGGY as hell so i made my own and added to it over time.
My Goal is to add features like Modbus , 12c and other protocols or if someone want's to contribute or collaborate i would be very gratefull aswell as everyone knows time is money now and a succesful commit will be added to a changelog.
This is licensed under the GPL-V2 as to keep any versions of this OPEN-SOURCED and maybe grow into a bigger more comprehensive program and keep it free for all to use and modify as alot of programs like this expect payment.

# Uses In The Real World
> Test USB To Serail Convertes (loop TX - RX)
> Check for data Loss
> Test cables (where cable lenghts maybe an issue etc...).
# Test communications on devices :
Arduino
Rasberry Pi
Modems
Embedded Hardware
Printers
RFID
etc...
# Test different Serial protocols :
UART Protocol
USART Protocol
USB Protocol
I2C Protocol
SPI Protocol
CAN Protocol
Modbus RTU
Modbus ASCII
LON
Proprietary Protocols
# Test functions on :
RS232
RS485
RS422
LON
1-Wire
I2C
etc...
> Test CRC / Checksums /BCC and others to verify commands sent and recieved.
> Use as a Listener on RS485 , 422 etc..
# Plans for the future
I wish to add other protocols and additional features , hopefully with the help of Contributors from Github and make this an easy to use , fucntional and comprehesive FREE Serial communcations test tool available .
This is an essential tool for any developer wanting to Implement a proprietary Protocol or to get a project up and running faster for popular protocols.
I will update the usage when i get time , i thought i would share this project and see if it can grow further here.
Happy coding.
Philip
