Been working on a small minicom/picocom clone in Rust for the past day, using some Rust packages allowing it to run crossplatform since I preferred that to PuTTY, managed to get it to work vaguely as a terminal, still needs work

Reviewers welcome :blobfoxlaughsweat:

Screenshot of my Windows terminal showing a listing from a picocom/minicom like terminal emulator running on a Windows serial port.

After trying all free serial programs from AppStore, I’m convinced that good old #Minicom (installed from homebrew) is still the best, most stable and feature rich interface for interactive serial communication with microcontrollers.

💡 #DWDsTips Minicom logging + options

#Minicom can annotate the received data.

Here I add timestamps to my sensor data and create a log file with the data in it

:terminal: now=-$(date '+%F_%T' --utc | tr -d -- '-:')
:terminal: logfile="${HOME}/Logs/minicom-capture-${now}"
:terminal: minicom \
--baudrate 115200 \
--device /dev/ttyACM0 \
--option timestamp \
--capturefile "${logfile}"

#Linux #Ubuntu #UART

BME280 temperature, humidity and pressure data and TEMT6000 light sensor data received and annotated by minicom, adding the data and time on the left hand side of each line

#minicom 2.10 has been released (#TerminalEmulator / #VT100Emulation / #ZMODEM / #SerialCommunication / #Unix / #Linux / #Debian) https://salsa.debian.org/minicom-team/minicom

Grr... minicom rasiert die High Colors ab.

Screenshot 1 zeigt wie es aussehen sollte, gemacht mit screen.
Screenshot 2 ist mit minicom gemacht und ist falsch.

Beides über serielle verbunden mit einem RP2040 der einen Z80 emuliert auf dem CP/M läuft und welchem ich unter anderem beigebracht habe ADM Codes nach VT zu übersetzen.

День 18

Сегодня продолжил листать #w3c #css С коллегой, который проходил стажировку на фронтенде поболтали насчет того, что надо на такой работе, про #map и #hoisted функции... Понял что многое позабыл полистал также раздел по #js в одной книге, вспомнил старое, но вопросы пока остались открытыми.
Сейчас сижу играюсь с логическим анализатором #slogic считаю 1 и 0, надо бы потом полистать документацию, чтобы понять как #uart начинает передачу. Попробовал получить сообщение с #uart но не получилось, #minicom выдал нечитаемые символы, хотя замкнутые выводы #rx_tx выдали тестовое сообщение "AT", создал .rules в udev но бестолку. Во всяком случае есть мой любимый #stlink_v3 он также может в #usart #uart Разберусь потом... Пока что в первую очередь нужно разобраться досконально в reference manual от #stm32f407vgt6

@scy
It is always good to have options.

So what do you like most on
#tio that you don't find on alternatives?

(I started to use #screen for serial because it was for me easier to use than #minicom or #kermit and I needed it for multi session terminal work anyway)

#serial #tty

Auf Linux nutzt man sowas wie #Minicom.
Was gibts vergleichbares bedienbar übers #Terminal (bevorzugt Git-#Bash) unter Windows mit dem zB #XModem gesprochen werden kann? 🤔

So, is it normal for minicom to refuse to work without root privileges? Like I can run it, reset my RC2014, and get the boot screen, but I can't type anything in unless I'm running as sudo.

I don't like running things as sudo when I don't have to, so if I can configure things so it works properly without would be ideal.

@erikaheidi: All of them. 😎 More or less at least:

* I preferred #picocom over #minicom. And for quite a while I only use GNU #Screen for all my #serial connection needs. 😎

* I preferred #ircII over #bitchX. Later switched to #irssi.

* I used the #pon and #poff scripts instead of #pppd directly. Also used #wvdial occasionally

* I used #licq as #ICQ client.

And from those programs which I used in production, I'd say that either #xf86conf or icq is the one I haven't used for the longest time.

Ich versuche seit ein paar Stunden vergeblich, eine serielle Terminal-Verbindung von meinem Laptop zu meinem headless #Debian-Mini-Server mittels USB-to-Serial-Kabel zu etablieren.

Auf dem Server läuft #agetty, auf dem Lapop #minicom oder #picocom. Die Devices sind alle zugreifbar, die Baudrate und sonstige Parameter sind identisch.

Muss ich vielleicht wie früher ein explizites Nullmodem bzw. X-Modem-Kabel verwenden? Hätte gedacht, die USB-Dinger erkennen das automatisch.

Holy moly, trusty old #kermit is not available anymore for #ubuntu 20.04 😞

I really liked kermit as it is easily scriptable and if required easy to control with e.g. expect. It also does not do a fullscreen GUI so it is easy to collect transcripts from shell sessions with remote activity intermixed.

Is there a good alternative for this nowadays? And no, #minicom does not cut it for the stated reasons.

Configuring a
@Cisco
switch from a #Linux terminal with #Minicom. The #Terminal is a fun place to play if you know what you are doing. Minicom and your system needs some adjustments and here is how you do it.

@klaatu I haven't used #picocom, but when you say #minicom is the easiest way to talk to a serial port, I have a discovery to share.

Minicom is a full-featured way, you have full control over your DTR pins and whatnot, and I used it a lot back in the days of BBSes and nullmodems between computers, but it also can become a bit bewildering and require some configuration. Actually the simplest way is to use #screen!

Yes! Screen is actually not just a console multiplexer, they also figured "well we have all this terminal emulation stuff in here anyway, might as well throw in serial line support.".

I've been using screen until just five years ago and before that ever since, well, since those minicom days, and I never realized there was an overlap. I only learned about it like last year when reading a tmux vs screen comparison (tmux doesn't do serial).
