74880 baud - Redux
My hubris is showing: In
ESP-8266, Ubuntu, and 74880 baud I solved
my problem with 74880 baud the hard way. Rather than looking at the
alternatives (and with Linux/Ubuntu there is always an alternative, and
usually more than one) I assumed that other terminal programs would have
a fixed list of speeds like minicom. Well, I was wrong.
Brian Walton pointed
out that miniterm.py will accept 74800 baud. Furthermore, I already
had miniterm.py installed!
miniterm.py is part of the
python-serial
package. It can be installed with the usual apt-get procedure:
$ sudo apt-get install python-serial
miniterm.py is pretty bare bones, but it will certainly do what I
need. It starts from the command line like this:
$ miniterm.py -p /dev/ttyUSB0 -b 74880
--- Miniterm on /dev/ttyUSB0: 74880,8,N,1 ---
--- Quit: Ctrl+] | Menu: Ctrl+T | Help: Ctrl+T followed by Ctrl+H ---
Update 2016/08/25: The command line arguments have changed. The -p
and -b are not required in newer versions of the program. The Ubuntu
14.04 python packages install the old version. The version available for
Ubuntu 16.04 does not accept the -p and -h. The new version starts
like this:
$ miniterm.py /dev/ttyUSB0 74880
--- Miniterm on /dev/ttyUSB0 74880,8,N,1 ---
--- Quit: Ctrl+] | Menu: Ctrl+T | Help: Ctrl+T followed by Ctrl+H ---
Should there come a time that I need more functionality than
miniterm.py provides, there are still more alternatives to checkout:
