Serial.print() equivalent about go-serial

You should first define what character set you are using. UTF-8 would be the easiest I think. Go strings are encoded in UTF-8. So you can send them using the following:

str := "Hello, world!"
port.Write([]byte(str))

And of course to get a Go string that has properly formatted numbers, you can use Sprint:

str := fmt.Sprint(1.23)
// str is "1.23"

You can also create new strings from existing strings with the + operator:

str := "Hello" + ", " + "world!"
// str is "Hello, world!"

Use Go's playground to play around to make sure you're doing it right: https://play.golang.org/

I don't really have Python experience, so I hope this is enough for you.

Thanks for the pointers.

From some initial reading; I thought there was some additional "checksum" type data that was sent when doing "text" IO to help make the communication more reliable; but perhaps I was wrong on that and its just about sending the correct binary values.
