#34309 but my embedded device which i'm trying to communicate, it doesn't reply with end of line.
could i put a timeout for input or expect fixed length of data?

#34347 I could ad a function that retrieves serial communications one character at a time. The input command tries to make this easier by making the protocol a bit simpler.

#34390 A timeout would be more useful.
A command to give the number of characters in the receive buffer and the ability to specify the number of characters read (instead of just one) together would make serial comms much easier when talking to a variety of devices.

Being able to set the baud rate is a must.
