Windows
On Windows systems you typically refer to serial ports via COM<index>.
XPipe also supports just specifying the index without the COM prefix.
To address ports greater than 9, you have to use the UNC path form with \\.\COM<index>.
If you have a WSL1 distribution installed, you can also reference the serial ports from within the WSL distribution via /dev/ttyS<index>.
This it does not work with WSL2 anymore though.
If you have a WSL1 system, you can use this one as the host for this serial connection and use the tty notation to access it with XPipe.
Linux
On Linux systems you can typically access the serial ports via /dev/ttyS<index>.
If you know the ID of the connected device but don't want to keep track of the serial port, you can also reference them via /dev/serial/by-id/<device id>.
You can list all available serial ports with their IDs by running ls /dev/serial/by-id/*.
macOS
On macOS, the serial port names can be pretty much anything, but usually have the form of /dev/tty.<id> where the id the internal device identifier.
Running ls /dev/tty.* should find available serial ports.
