The `serial.client` module connects to a serial device and emits a message messages based on the data it receives from the port. Messages are determined by "framing" techniques as serial is a stream based protocol.

<SchemaInfo type="module" id="serial.client"></SchemaInfo>

### Example

Open a serial connection to `/dev/ttyS0` with a buad rate of `115200`, any incoming data will be split on line-feed (`\n`)

```yaml
- id: serialClient
  type: serial.client
  params:
    port: "/dev/ttyS0"
    baudRate: 115200
    framing: LF
```
