The Web232 board works as a standard USB-to-RS232 adaptor, but with WebUSB support.
WebUSB JavaScript API allows web-based applications to access USB devices. WebUSB is supported by the Google Chrome browser and is also included in the Chromium open-source browser builds. If you are using Chrome (or a Chromium-based) browser, your web pages will be able to access an RS232 device connected to the Web485 board.
Tibbo is planning to make extensive use of the WebUSB functionality. The first example of the Web232 board's usefulness is our PuTTY-like terminal app called WebTerminal.
To aid in the development of web-based apps (HTML pages) supporting the Web232 board, we are offering an easy-to-use WebSerial library.
