New GUI based serial terminal for embedded development (Linux and Windows)<p>Hi all, just wanted to let everyone know of my new open-source serial (and TCP/IP) terminal program aimed at embedded developers.<p>I wasn't happy with what was available on Linux, so I decided to write my own. The goals were to have a modern GUI (tab based, pull out panels, etc) and I wanted support for binary protocols.<p>It has support for ANSI escape sequences, XModem (up/down), binary blocks, hex dumps, bridging 2 open connections, and more.<p>Source link:
<a href="https://github.com/TheBeef/WhippyTerm">https://github.com/TheBeef/WhippyTerm</a><p>This is the first release (version 1.0), and I am hoping people will have a look (and hopefully like it).
Can you add Linux build instructions for people not on Debian/Ubuntu?<p>I didnt see anything on the github or in the source download.<p>Alternatively an AppImage or Flatpak is a nice way to test software.
This looks great. I don't do serial/embedded stuff too often at the moment; ESPHome took away much of my need to hand-build stuff (happy and sad about that), but when I do I always find it slightly irritating to remember the syntax to connect with minicom or screen (I'm a Linux user).<p>I'm sorry I can't give more useful feedback at the moment, but this is certainly encouraging me to come up with an idea for an embedded project so I can try it!
Oh damn, this could easily replace my own bespoke serial monitors.<p>Can a plugin filter the list of available ports? For instance serial over Bluetooth creates two virtual ports for initiating and accepting connections (on windows at least). My bespoke monitor filters these and only shows the outbound ports to the user. It also pulls in the Bluetooth device name from WinRT, etc.
This is neat. The send buffers and live display give it a nice edge over something like Tera Term. One nitpick: I couldn't find the option to disable autoscroll on incoming serial streams. Like 'Auto scroll only in bottom line' in Tera Term. Thanks!
