Tired of HyperTerminal - What is good? - Page 2 - Electronic Circuits Projects Diagrams Free

I use Tera Term Pro, I could never get Hyperterm to work with my setup (Probably because I didn't hook up the CTS line, anyone know if Hyperterm explicitly waits for CTS?) Anyways, yep, ease up setup is a big factor for Tera Term, you just start it up, pick a COM port and voom, off you go.

I'm pretty sure not. I've never set anything on Hyperterm except baud rate and 8/N/1 and it always works. I only ever use RX and TX lines to comm with it.

Tera Term is nice and simple. Not so stuck on dialup as Hyperterm. Have no use for dialup and it gets in the way.

You can set Hyperterminal to use handshaking or not - obviously it's essential you set it correctly, as with any terminal program.

I like the simple UART tool that comes with the PICkit2 software. Handy and can display ASCII or Hex (too bad it can't do VT100)

Tera Term Pro only does the VT's, so I'm relearning VT100 escape codes. Been a long time since I looked at any of that stuff. Needed arrow keys, so I did some googling last night to get them working ($1b $5b $XX).

In this case also I'm with Eric.Doing all terminal programs in VB.

A recent simple program done with VB.
