Download it from https://nuget.org/packages/PInvokeSerialPort :) ## Motivation behind this fork
`System.IO.Ports.SerialPort` is terrible and [this is exactly what I've experienced in a project](https://www.sparxeng.com/blog/software/must-use-net-system-io-ports-serialport) so this library came to the rescue.

Consume the NuGet via `Install-Package Nefarius.PInvokeSerialPort`
