wissance-zerial

Zerial is a utility that allows to develop/test hardware and interact with it from our general software in binary mode. Zerial was built with Avalonia and Net6 and published as a self-contained application; therefore, it doesn't need dotnet to be installed. Due to that, it has a size of around 100 MB. But unlike of Electron and Python applications, it utilizes resources carefully. If you are considering that our work is important please support us with STAR on github : https://github.com/Wissance/Zerial or via Donation Zerial has the following main advantages:

1. Performance

• fast start, warm start < 3s
• low memory consumption < 100 MB, and this value is constant
• close to 0 CPU consumption (with properly working COM devices)

2. Convenience:

• Exchange data with devices in a binary format in Hex mode; hardware developers don't need to develop their own software just for tests
• Support multiple devices at the same time (not really tested)
• Remember the last RS232 working configuration Support multiple platforms where Net6 could be installed (Avalonia is a Cross-Platform WPF)

To make you app work with serial-devices run following code prior to running wissance-zerial

• sudo snap set system experimental.hotplug=true
• sudo systemctl restart snapd.service
• sudo snap connect wissance-zerial:wissance-zerial-serial-port

User must be added to the group dialout: sudo usermod -a -G dialout $USER

If connection is not working try to see slots via snap interface serial-port and add slot i.e. snapd:usbserial: sudo snap connect wissance-zerial:wissance-zerial-serial-port snapd:usbserial
