Hi, thanks for the manual it helped me a lot.
Do you know what changes do i need to make in the webpack config to let serialport to be packed properly.
I got this infamous error:
webpack < 5 used to include polyfills for node.js core modules by default.
This is no longer the case. Verify if you need this module and configure a polyfill for it.
