[MonoDevelop] Missing System.IO.Ports?

[Daniel Morgan]

Well.  That is a shame.  How well does Mono work with using the serial port to communicate with an Arduino microcontroller board?

What would it take to implement the DataRecievedEvent ?

We found that on mono for windows we would lose data. We didn't investigate this to closely because we use ms .net on windows anyway. 

Once we rewrote our code to not rely on the DataRecievedEvent it worked fine on mono for linux.

Cheers,
Daniel Hughes
