Web Serial API – Bringing Serial Communication to the Web
Introduction The Web Serial API allows web applications to communicate with serial devices such as microcontrollers, Arduinos, and other hardware directly from the browser. How Web Serial API Works Device Connection – A user selects a serial device through the browser prompt. Data Exchange – Once access is granted, the application can send and receive data over a serial connection. Practical Use Case: Flashing Microcontrollers via the Browser Developers can use Web Serial API to create web-based tools for flashing firmware onto devices like Arduino or ESP32 without needing desktop software. Browser Support Web Serial API is available in Chrome 89+ across desktop platforms but not supported in Firefox or Safari.
