Terminal program for anyone interested in development

Spiral_72

Just a quick note:

If you are developing a system that talks over the COM (serial) port, consider Tera Term. It's open source, very small, easy to use and does one thing...... ok maybe two things.

It was a tremendous help in debugging my communications problems.

There's also a program by Br@y++ that's good: https://sites.google.com/site/terminalbpp/

PuTTY is another one: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/

PuTTY has been around for a long, long time and is both open source and free. Parallax has even made its own terminal program after growing weary of trying to help people with all and everything out there.

Yet another custom release is rather ackward to fool with. I have one I absolutely love - called Terminal that is the ultimate in serial port tweeking. If is great if you are hacking, but I am not even sure I could ever find the web site that I downloaded it from as the name is just too darned generic for Google,et al.

I like RealTerm.

I like PuTTY, it is light weight, and doesn't get in the way.

I used to use hyperterminal, but since it is no longer part of Windows I've been using PuTTY.

hyperterminal can be loaded onto XP at least. Do a google to find out how.

@Loopy - Terminal is probably the first program that I linked to above.

I found uCon recently and it has some nice features. I use uCon and TeraTerm.
