Description
UART/Serial communication with Raspberry Pi is one way to transport information from-and-to a Raspberry Pi and an external device. WiringPi is a library written to access general purpose inputs-outputs of the Raspberry Pi. This library is released under the GNU LGPLv3 license. In this application note, the procedure on WiringPi library setup is presented. Also, an example code written using the Workshop IDE-ViSi environment using 4D Graphics Language is included for testing the serial communications.
