Serial Port is a bidirectional communication platform that allows users to send and receive data byte by byte. The Web Serial Application Programming Interface (API) provides and allows a pathway for websites or browsers to read and write to a serial connected devices with JavaScript. Serial connected devices can be connected using the USB port of the user’s operation system device or using the Bluetooth module that allows the emulation of a serial port. However, not all browsers are optimized to support the usage of the Web Serial API to date. Communication from mobile devices to user’s operating system to the serial connected device cannot be establish due to the optimization of supported platform. The aim of this project was to develop a smart phone browser-based application that allows the functionality of a real time instrument by using microcontroller boards using the UART and USB port to read and write data. However, due to my limited knowledge towards development of an application through programming, research could be done to supply the project progression to completion. The findings of this project shown in this report will be presented from Troubleshooting to Work done for simulations of serial port oscilloscope of a simulated real time instrument to Future intended framework to be completed.
