NAME
Robotics::Fialab::Serial - (Internal module) Software-to-Serial interface for Fialab Serial or USB-Serial on Unix/Win32 for controlling robotics hardware
VERSION
Version 0.23
SYNOPSIS
Serial and USB-Serial software interface support for Robotics::Fialab. In Perl Robotics environment, the Robotics modules use this module to send hardware commands through a Serial port to the physical hardware.
This module is only useful in the framework of other Robotics modules. It probably should not be used on it's own.

FUNCTIONS
probe
Probe the local machine for a Serial port to communicate with as a software-hardware interface.
Finds the port only, does not find hardware (look at hardware modules for that part).
Returns:
- Hash, with key:value as follows: key="Fialab-Microsia", value="not-started:name:token" or "ok:name:token" where name is the application-usable alias to use for new()'s "unit" parameter, and token is an internal reference for low level software.

(Internal function) Do not call
