CoolTerm

CoolTerm is a simple serial port terminal application (no terminal emulation) that is geared towards hobbyists and professionals with a need to exchange data with hardware connected to serial ports such as servo controllers, robotic kits, GPS receivers, microcontrollers, etc.

Features include display of received data in text or hexadecimal format, support for multiple concurrent connection (if multiple serial ports are available), the ability to send data in text or hexadecimal format, local echo, hardware (CTS, DTR) and software flow control (XON), logging of received data to text files, and more. Written in REALBasic.

New/Changed Features:

• Added new option to handle End Of Text (EOT, ASCII code 4) characters. Enabling this feature will prevent the display from updating until a EOT character is received, at which time the display is updated with the contents from the receive buffer.
• Cdded code to present the user with the option to select a serial port if a loaded settings file includes an empty string for the port name. This allows the creation of generic settings files.
• [MAC] Additional retina support.

Bug Fixes and Stability Improvements:

• Code improvement to avoid ThreadAccessingUIException.
