Terminal

I have just managed to get a USB to serial adapter to work on my Windoze machine, so that I can receive debug output from my sam-flex. Now the question is: What kind of terminal software do people use? I can only find trial versions of software online, and the software I'm using now ("Serial Port Monitor") reads newlines as dots (and no newline).

Help appreciated.

Hyperterminal.

It's slightly crap (well, it comes with Windows, so what do you expect?), I find the best way to use it is to capture everything to a file and then read that.

I comes with windows? I can't find it there, only this online:

I found another little neat program called termine, which does pretty much exactly what I wanted it to

@alfkil
Could that be "termite" ?

@alfkil

I use putty for everything (telnet/ssh/raw data/serial). Putty handle all the terminals , with tons of those differences, with many options (to make scroll buffer big as you wish, save to file, clear or reset all what you want when you want). And its not need any kind of installation, just dl, unpack, and "putty.exe".

Yes, Putty is a very good prog, I use it like a Telnet terminal, and works verey fine.

If it isn't there you can add it through Add/Remove Programs (Windows components section, or whereever they've moved that to in 7)

Also check C:\Program Files\Windows NT (!)

It has been part of Windows since at least '95.

Hmm, the Web seems to agree with you that it isn't included any more, although I'm sure I used it on 7 the other week as I needed to use it and was wondering whether it was still a part of Windows - to my "delight" I found it exactly where I expected. Maybe I imagined it. I don't have anything more up-to-date than XP here so I can't double-check.

upgrade to win7 instead of new install?

anyway, putty is very good.

Thanks for the inputs .

Putty seems good, but how can I make it understand that '\n' means newline AND carriage return??

Until this is fixed, I think I will stick with Termite.

EDIT: Nevermind, found the tag called "Implicit CR in every LF". Putty is good to go
