Serial Communication Toolbox for Scilab
=======================================
This toolbox enables the use of Serial Communication in
[Scilab](http://www.scilab.org/) and
[Scicoslab](http://www.scicoslab.org/).
This is a port of the __Portable Serial Toolbox__ for Scilab originally written
by [Enrico Segre](http://www.weizmann.ac.il/home/fesegre/)
and is being
released with his kind permission. It is licensed, at his request, under the
GPLv3.
Enrico does not wish to provide support for this
toolbox anymore. Therefore, for any support related queries or otherwise,
please raise an issue on the [Github project page](https://github.com/sengupta/Scilab-Serial/issues).
This toolbox is known to have worked so far on Linux based systems and on
Windows (up till Windows 7).
The implementation via TCL wrappers is certainly suboptimal, but shouldn't be
such a penalty, given the low bandwidth and the intrinsic asynchronous mode of
serial communication. And mainly, it relieves the developer from supporting many
platforms at once.
