Serialterm v1.1
This serial terminal program (serialterm) is a command line tool that was developed for debugging microcontroller hardware that is connected to the PC via serial line. The program reads characters from the keyboard and sends them them to the selected com-port (a option for local echo is given). At the same time it reads characters from the serial port and displays them on the screen in ASCII, decimal or hexadecimal style. The separator between displayed characters can be set to space, tab, newline, or 'nothing'. The output can be saved to a log-file. Tested on Windows 2000. .
- Download the win32-executable: serialterm.exe (version 1.1)
- Download the c/c++ source code: serialterm.cpp
- Download the archive with sourcecode in C/C++ with a project file for MS Visual C++ 6.0
Commandline Serial Terminal - Version 1.1 by A. Schmidt, Oct 2001
Lancaster University - http://www.comp.lancs.ac.uk/~albrecht/
serialterm port [speed] [DisplayMode] [Separator] [Echo][logfilename]
port ::= com1 | com2 | com3 | com4 | com5 | com6
speed::= 300 | 4800 | 9600 | 19200 | 38400 | 57600 | 115200 | 230400
DisplayMode::= ascii | hex | decimal
Separator::= empty | space | newline | tab
Echo::= no | yes
logfilename::= <anyname> (if not provided no log is written)
Usage examples:
serialterm com1 115200 hex space no logfile.txt
open the terminal on port com1 with 115200 bit/s, print hex code of
incoming characters, seperate them by space, no local echo, save
output to the file 'logfile.txt'serialterm com2 19200 decimal tab yes
open the terminal on port com2 with 19200 bit/s, print decimal code
of incoming characters, seperate them by tabs, do local echo, no logfile
Two examples that facilitates the ADXL202 evaluation board for reading acceleration information
On is a basic example that shows how to read values from the board (the board is based on the ADXL202 chip from Analog Technologies - www.analog.com). The other is a tool for rapid prototyping of context-aware applications. The programs are available in source code (developed with MS Visual Basic 6.0)
Two examples that facilitates the DrDAQ sensor board for reading various sensor information
On is a basic example that shows how to read values from the board (DrDAQ from www.picotech.com). The other is a tool for rapid prototyping of context-aware applications. The programs are available in source code (developed with MS Visual Basic 6.0)
Example of multi-threaded code for Windows
This very simple examples shows how to use threads under windows. The multithreaded program prints out text to the screen from each of the threads at different speed. (If you are using the Visual C++ development environment, select the Multi-Threaded runtime library in the compiler Project Settings dialog box - see C/C++, Code Generation!) Tested on win2000.
