qtserialbus

brew install qtserialbus v6.11.1 (LGPL-3.0-only OR GPL-2.0-only OR GPL-3.0-only) AND (GPL-3.0-only WITH Qt-GPL-exception-1.0) AND BSD-3-Clause

Qt library for CAN, Modbus, and serial industrial bus communication on desktop platforms.

Why you might care

Part of the Qt framework; use this if you're building Qt applications that need to interface with industrial protocols like CAN or Modbus over serial connections. Provides high-level C++ bindings and abstractions that integrate naturally with Qt's signal/slot system and event loop.
