If your computer is a PC and has the standard on-board RS-233 ports
(usually accessible as two male DB9 connectors at the back) then under
Linux these are accessed through device nodes most likely named:
`/dev/tty S0` and `/dev/ttyS1`. If your computer has no on-board
serial ports, then you will need a USB-to-Serial adapter (or something
`/dev/ttyS0` and `/dev/ttyS1`. If your computer has no on-board serial
ports, then you will need a USB-to-Serial adapter (or something
similar). Once inserted to a USB port and recognized by Linux, a
device node is created for each serial port accessed through the
adapter(s). These nodes are most likely named `/dev/ttyUSB0`,
`/dev/ttyUSB1`, and so on. For other systems and Unix-like OSes you

You can explicitly set one or more of the serial port settings to the
desired values using picocom's command line options. For example, to
set the baud-rate to 115200bps (the default is 9600bps), and enable
hardware flow-control (RTS/CTS handshake) you can say:
```
picocom --baud 115200 --flow h /dev/ttyS0
