 serial-port-json-server
 =======================
+Version 1.2
 
-A serial port JSON websocket & web server that runs in your system tray on 
-Windows, Mac, or Linux that lets you communicate with your serial port from a 
-web application. This enables web apps to be written that can communicate with 
-your local serial device such as an Arduino, CNC controller, or any device that 
-communicates over the serial port.
+A serial port JSON websocket & web server that runs from the command line on 
+Windows, Mac, Linux, Raspberry Pi, or Beagle Bone that lets you communicate with your serial 
+port from a web application. This enables web apps to be written that can 
+communicate with your local serial device such as an Arduino, CNC controller, or 
+any device that communicates over the serial port.
 
 The app is written in Go. It has an embedded web server and websocket server.
 The server runs on the standard port of localhost:8989. You can connect to
-it locally with your browser to interact.
+it locally with your browser to interact by visiting http://localhost:8989.
+The websocket is technically running at ws://localhost/ws.
+
+Supported commands are:
+	list
+	open [portName] [baud]
+	close [portName]
+	send [portName] [cmd]
 
 The app is one executable with everything you need and is available ready-to-go
 for every major platform.
 
 If you are a web developer and want to write a web application that connects
-to somebody's local serial port server, then you simply need to create a new DNS entry
-under your domain called something like serialjson.mydomain.com and map it to 
-127.0.0.1 to solve for the cross-domain Ajax policy. Then simply create a websocket
-connection to serialjson.mydomain.com and you will be directly interacting with
-that user's serial port.
+to somebody's local or remote serial port server, then you simply need to create a 
+websocket connection to the localhost or remote host and you will be directly 
+interacting with that user's serial port.
 
 For example, if you wanted to create a Gcode Sender web app to enable people to send
 3D print or milling commands from your site, this would be a perfect use case. Or if
 you've created an oscilloscope web app that connects to an Arduino, it would be another
 great use case. Finally you can write web apps that interact with a user's local hardware.
+
+Thanks go to gary.burd.info for the websocket example in Go. Thanks also go to 
+tarm/goserial for the serial port base implementation.
+
+Changes in 1.2
+- Added better error handling
+- Removed forcibly adding a newline to the serial data being sent to the port. This
+  means apps must send in a newline if the serial port expects it.
+- Embedded the home.html file inside the binary so there is no longer a dependency
+  on an external file.
+- TODO: Closing a port on Beagle Bone seems to hang. Only solution now is to kill
+  the process and restart.
+- TODO: Mac implementation seems to have trouble on writing data after a while. Mac
+  gray screen of death can appear. Mac version uses CGO, so it is in unsafe mode.
+  May have to rework Mac serial port to use pure golang code.
