Well, it depends a bit on the programming language (and the libraries) you are using. In any case you may find many examples just using Google. For instance (assuming you are developing for the Windows OS):

(.NET Framework) - SerialPort Class[^].

(WINAPI) - Serial Communications[^].

thanks, but in my project (C#), it can't open port! I've written as following lines:

serialport1.BaudRate=38400;
serialport1.PortName="com1";
serialport1.DtrEnable=true;
serialport1.RtsEnable=true;
serialport1.Handshake=System.IO.Ports.Handshake.None;
serialport1.Parity=System.IO.Ports.Parity.None;
serialport1.Open;
serialport1.DiscardInBuffer();
serialport1.DiscardOutBuffer();

could you explain what shall i do to open port of my PC?
