in thread TCP Socket and Serial Port

In a nutshell, use a single thread for communicating with your serial port. Set up two Thread::Queues: one for inbound commands; one for outbound responses.

When one of your clients sends a command, post it to the inbound queue.

Have your another thread monitor the outbound queue and forward a copy of each thing it dequeues to every connected client.

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

The start of some sanity?
