How to trigger an external application or script?

I am planning to use Arduino to control lights. Is there a way to add Qt serial to Flipabit?
Is there a way to run a python script or an exe file from flipabit application?

Flipabit doesn’t support serial port and argument passing for script.

A possible algorithm is as follows:
1.Using the Save text to file action write your command to text file
2.Using the Open Url action Call a script (python/bat/bash) that reads a command from that text file

Is it possible to add this feature since qt serial already exists .
Currently i am emulating Arduino as keyboard and sending some key to trigger something .
writing to a file and reading from it will be a bad idea since i dont really know when to read or write

We have no plans to add serial port support. We’ll improve calling the external program so you can send arguments to python script or an exe file. If you describe in detail what you are trying to do I will send you an example.
