I am currently trying to write a python program to control a microchip over a serial connection for my undergraduate studies. I am using a tested microchip board, which was given to me by my supervisor, in conjunction with a Waveshare USB to RS232/485/422/TTL converter. For the IDE I am using PyCharm Community Edition 2024.1.4 with python 3.9. The microchip was programmed using Microchips MPLAB X IDE v6.20 and compiler XC32 v4.35.
