how do you communicate with the device?
You could use QtSerialPort module if possible.

Hi and welcome to devnet,

There's nobody that can tell you how to do it like that. You have to check the API of your devices, setup the com ports and communicate with them. As raven-worx suggested, Qt provides QtSerialPort to talk with serial devices (no matter whether it's a usb port or a real serial port)
