sock_ser_model contains the current server/client model.
pyserial
Install with: pip install pyserial might work If cannot run this as root, you'll need to install it system-wide with your package manager. On Debian: "sudo apt install python3-pyserial"
You should install GTK Terminal or the equivalent and open it with sudo: For me using GTK: sudo gtkterm -p /dev/ttyUSB1
Open s2s_server.py: sudo ./s2s_server.py -IP [IP Address, default is 127.0.0.1]
Open s2s_client.py: ./s2s_client.py -IP [IP Address, default same as above]
When using two computers, use -IP [the IP address of the computer running the server]
