[avionicharshit-byte]

Contribution Summary

I have contributed a code feature to Serial Studio that was recently merged into the master branch.

Pull Request Details

• PR Link: feat: add CLI arguments for device connection #323
• Merged Date: November 24, 2025
• Feature: Command-line argument support for automated workflows

What Was Implemented

Added CLI argument parsing to enable users to launch Serial Studio with automatic device connection and project loading:

• --device <path> — Auto-connect to specified serial device
• --baud <rate> — Set baud rate at startup
• --project <file> — Load project file automatically

This implementation:

• Replaced basic argument parsing with QCommandLineParser
• Maintained backward compatibility with existing flags
• Solves Issue Feature Request: Be able to launch serial studio with command line arguments #266
• Enables scripting and automation workflows

Maintainer Feedback

Alex (the maintainer) approved and merged the PR, noting:

"I plan to expand on this code in the future to add support for device listing and selection for different IO Drivers, it definitely would help for many usage
cases."

Current Contribution Status

I’m currently working on another feature (duplicate line filtering, Issue #285), which should be ready for a PR soon. My free trial has expired, so I’m requesting a Pro license to continue contributing.
