In this short post, I’ll show you how to read and write to/from the serial port using Powershell.

Let’s see how to do it in the script example below.

#Returns a list of all the currently available serial ports.
[System.IO.Ports.SerialPort]::getportnames() 

#Creates a new COM port object for COM5 with a baud rate of 9600.
$port = new-Object System.IO.Ports.SerialPort COM5,9600,None,8,one 

#Open the connection.
$port.open()

$port.WriteLine("some string") #Sends string.
$port.ReadLine()               #Receives string.

#Close the connection when done.
$port.Close()
