Usb tty usage on unrooted
Im guessing its not in the api yet, I didnt see it
Just got some tty lora modules; rq question about it, because I want to use in termux is there a easy way now, or are we still stuck with using a diffrent app, or writing a usb parser in termux?
If proot can parse, thats fine too; I just want to mess with them in python, instead of directly sending at commands to it.

What proot really is, is just a pseudo AKA fake root. Termux is just an ordinary Android app, and as such, has no special access to the USB controller.
I understand; but other apps can access it, and its able to be parsed from the usb passthrough given from the termux api; so is there a known way to use this easily?
I mean I can run a vm to parse the usb stuff
but thats stupid
It depends on if your device's ROM supports it or not.
Other apps can read it; its able to work over usb, I mean is there a way to get a serial connection out of that tho
easily
Did you read the EULA / ToS / whatever for the device and its official mobile app? There might be something that talks about not being allowed to decompile, use 3rd-party accessories to interact with it, or something.
I dont think there is an official mobile app for a usb uart adapter from pine64 (https://pine64.com/product/serial-console-woodpecker-edition/), nor the serial RYLR998 with datasheet published on their website for use in applications https://reyax.com/products/RYLR998
and even if there was; if I never installed, interacted with, or used the official app. Doing so would mean attempts to interact with the device is allowed. And I don't think those clauses are even legally enforceable if it was in there as long as it is not for personal gain, nor to the determent of the company, most can only remove your account.
anyway, this joke about this being in any applicable has gone on long enough; its not.
I just want to talk serial over termux, thats entirely legal, there is no official anything, and I just want to send AT commands automatically like I do on a computer

waiting for the "using this product is illegal" clause to be added to everything I interact with
This is why right to repare is important; it shouldnt be illegal to use my own purchased hardware for whatever I want; even if the hypothetical app says I cant, I own the hardware, and they cant stop me from decompiling the app and using that in my personal projects. That is only a factor in public information, or releases for non personal reasons
and thats only the code its self; I can still make a tool for it as long as I dont use anything from the hypothetical app
Can someone please help with this
