I have been trying to use both Tarmigan's and Jacob's packages on Windows
and Linux. For basic serial reading they both seem to work just fine.
However, they both seem to break with higher baud rate and continues
streaming of data. In my case I was streaming sensor data at baud rate
921600, that comes every few seconds. The expected byte size vary a bit
depending on the sensor readings from the physical environment, so I have
now added one extra character ("#") to be able to return the read out when
this character arrives. But this does not seem to be supported in any of
the available libraries that I have seen so far. Any idea how I could meet
my goal?
