Close Method

Closes the communication port.

Syntax

Public Sub Close()

Remarks

This method closes the communication port previously opened by the Open method. Using a serial port uses a lot of power so it is important to close any communication port once it is not used any more.

Calling this method on a StreamSerial object whose port is not open does not have any effect, and in particular, does not cause a runtime error.
