Why do I fail to communicate with an external device using "serialport" in a script but not in the command window?

I am using the "serialport" command to connect to my external device like an Arduino board. The code doesn't work when I try to run it as script, but works when I run them line by line in the Command Window. Why is that?

Please try to add in a "pause(5)" after the object creation and see if it helps. The device might need some time to be in the correct state before you send data to it.
Running a command from a script and Command Window should give the same result. The only difference in your two executions of your code is the time between executions of each line.
