Serial Port Splitter

[Audio] Hello ALL , Today we would like to present you all our Hackathon idea Serial Port Splitter.

[Audio] What is a serial port ? a serial port is a serial communication interface through which information transfers in or out sequentially one bit at a time. It provides bidirectional communication interface that allows sending and receiving data . Serial ports are widely used in Configuration and management of networking equipment such as routers, switches, firewalls, load balancers etc. They are also used by different sensors for data acquisition. For example, GPS receivers uses this to transit GPS data. Now coming to the problem statement Usually when we need to access the serial device connected to the serial port, we use serial communication program but what if you need to access the device from several programs at the same time ? Operating system doesn't allow simultaneous COM port connections . Once a port is opened by one application, it is locked and other applications trying to connect to the same port will fail..
