Are there any serial port emulator on Mac OSX? I'm working on a program controlling serial device (RS232) on Mac. I used to verify my program with com0com for serial device, but which is windows-only.
I have read this thread, but still in vain. MultiCom is not what I'm looking for. I need a software which creates/emulates virtual serial devices.
Thanks in advance for any help.
A way to emulate a serial device (RS232) on Mac that worked for me was by plugging an Arduino (it requires hardware yes, but can emulate many other devices). I use it to emulate more expensive sensors. This is a simple example of code from Arduino website slightly modified to print a statement continuously.
// the setup routine runs once
void setup() {
// initialize serial communication at 9600 bits per second:
Serial.begin(9600);
// Wait for serial port to connect (Needed for native USB port only)
while (!Serial) {
;
}
}
// the loop routine runs over and over again forever:
void loop() {
// Print a statement through Serial
Serial.println("Hello world !");
// Some delay
delay(10);
}
