Getting Connected

Linux

Command Line

I've used a couple of cli serial tools but settled on tio. In both cases though, it's easy to create configuration files to make connecting easy.

minicom

Available under most Linux distros.

example:

minicom -b 230400 -D /dev/ttyUSB0

tio

example:

tio --baudrate 230400 -flow hard /dev/ttyUSB0

See the instructions on Github for details of how to install or build tio.

Windows

A couple of options under Windows that I've used. Feel free to add your favourite. I don't have a favourite - both work equally well for me.
