With STermPro you can

* Control serial device with parameters, not bytes. Just select protocol. STermPro takes care of the rest.
* Check device output as parameters of protocol, not just a sequence of bytes.

* Send and receive with many serial ports simultaneously. Each port has it's tab.
* Send mixed strings with hex characters. Analyze clearly arranged messages.
* Unique serial port flow visualization makes it clear at once.
* Work with custom serial devices.

I would be very interested in the upcoming version for Linux. The Windows one does not meet my actual needs for now... So I suppose I have to be patient Wink

anyway, seems like a great product. I am very grateful you could set this up.

Great !

I've not had time to really test it, but a small suggestion before I forget : The file .proto is loaded only if it is present in the current directory. I would be more interesting to load it from a list a directories, like this :
  • load .proto files from current directory
  • load .proto files from ~/.STermPro directory
  • load .proto files from ${PREFIX}/share/STermPro directory (PREFIX is most probably /usr or /usr/local)
  • load .proto files from the directory where the STermPro executable resides
My 2 cents,
Lionel

Agreed. I'll add this feature in v1.1.4. It will make possible sharing .proto files, as app will parse all existing .proto files in a number of dirs.

Also it would be great to see any Linux users report: if app works well, are there any crashes or bugs.

Ok, I downloaded STTermPro and installed it.

I'm running win7-64bit.

Install went fine. Registration went fine.

But now everything is grayed out. I can't seem to do anything. Eventually I dbl clicked and the prg crashed.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Anthony

If you're looking for something to build on, I have contributed a single threaded serial port application built on the inputs from this forum.

jerson, I use ctb library which performs well and is cross-platform, and I've got wrapper around it using MtAlt package.

Hello Mindtraveller

I have seen ctb library for serial communications is done with wxWidgets.

Do you know if there is any lighter library for building a wrapper for U++ on top of it?

Best regards

You are not right in this case. ctb is a part of wxW project. But ctb doesn't use ANY wxWidgets code. It is completely standalone.
So I embed it into U++ without a single wxW header, just as is.
It's the most robust yet complete and cross-platform seriall comms library I've ever met.
I use it for almost a year. I tested it in production apps and finally must admin it is good, efficient and works without bugs for me.

The only problem with it is that ctb is LGPL licensed.

Also, ctb is only a part of infrastructure for programming serial communications. It should also be asynchronous call methods (I solve it with MtAlt - very comfortable, we may discuss it if someone is interested). And also there must be protocols layer.

My 10-year experience with serial comms finally led me to a high-layed calls which support both async & protocol ways: 
	int io = Send(sensorPort, NULL, RECEIVE_TIMEOUT_NB3000, NULL, "modbus", 4,6,51,1);

I found it the most convenient way to interact with devices.

Hello Mindtraveller

Just excellent Smile.

Could you release your library including ctb sources as a plugin?. It would useful and a good example of MtAlt.

As your library is more complex than ctb, it could be called SerialComm or something similar.

About WxWidgets license, it is not as BSD license but I think it is enough comfortable to be used in commercial and non-commercial programs.
