#### Zerial is a utility that allows to interact with multiple RS232 (COM) devices in binary mode

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`
