For those that work with hardware communication… what tools/utilities can I use so that two processes and can read from and write to the same serial port? #arduino #RaspberryPi

I know you probably have a good reason for this, but why do you need two processes to read from it?
Replying to
The serial port is used to communicate with a 3D printer. Octoprint currently communicates over the port. I want to control an LED strip by reading commands from a separate process (I don’t want to have to rely on Octoprint because I may switch to something else in the future)

What I mean by relying on Octopring: I could just issue Octoprint API requests to read the status of the printer, but I may not always use Octoprint.
