JAVA: Serial Port Console for Windows, Linux etc.
Here we have a simple Serial Console e.g. for testing embedded microcontroller board.
This shell send the line you type in at the top of the application window to the
serial port and the received characters are displayed in the text-area below.
For testing this application just connect the RX pin of your serial port with the
TX pin. So the application will display the string typed into the text-line in the text-area
below.
Screenshot
UPDATE:
If you use a USB-to-Serial converter, remove the line:
serialPort.notifyOnOutputEmpty(true);
Otherwise the application will hang. It seems that the linux kernel driver usbserial
doesn't support the event OUTPUT_BUFFER_EMPTY.
If you run the JAVA application from your shell or the windows command line, you
see something like this:
$ ./run.sh
Set default port to /dev/ttyS0
Experimental: JNI_OnLoad called.
