Explainer No information provided Specification No information provided Summary The Web Serial API provides an interface for connecting to serial devices, either through a serial port on the user's system or removable USB and Bluetooth devices that emulate a serial port. Now it is supported on Android. Users, especially in the educational, hobbyist and industrial sectors, connect peripheral devices to their computers that require custom software to control. For example, robotics are often used to teach computer programming and electronics in schools. This requires software which can upload code to a robot and/or control it remotely. In an industrial or hobbyist setting a piece of equipment such as a mill, laser cutter or 3D printer is controlled by a program running on a connected computer. These devices are often controlled by small microcontrollers via a serial connection.

Please list open issues (eg links to known github issues in the project for the feature specification) whose resolution may introduce web compat/interop risk (eg, changing to naming or structure of the API in a non-backward-compatible way).
