Inspiration

As a software developer, I have faced multiple situations where I have had to implement serial ports. Tired of reimplementing the same lines of code all the time (Despite only having to copy and paste code from my private blog), I decided to simplify this process by creating a library that allows me and allows to other developers who can relate to this situation, to implement serial communication in a short period of time and in a simple way.
