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.

Noch eine Ergänzung zu meinem Problem mit den Ausgaben auf dem Serial Monitor des #Wemos #D1Mini
Das Problem scheint nicht bei #PlatformIO oder #VSCode zu liegen.
Wenn ich mit #picocom die Daten der Schnittstelle ausgeben lasse erhalte ich auch nur kryptische Zeichen.

@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.

@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).
