Hi,

Is there an option to see all of the results from a search? The Search displays 50 only.

What I'm looking for is if someone has written a "terminal program" to run on a MM2 LCD Backpack? I would like to use a MM2 LCD Backpack to display ASCII messages something like Tera Term does without having to use a PC. BTW, I don't need to send from the Terminal, simply RX on a COMM port only.

Thanks, Don

Don,
I wrote a wifi library for the CMM2 (Thread Here)

Code Here

In the zip file for the code are a few example programs, including "terminal.bas", which is a very simple terminal program that you may be able to modify for your purposes. The ESP8266 is connected via serial port on the CMM2, so it should work just like any serial connection. You will probably need to comment out/remove any specific wifi library calls, and define the COM port and baud rate, but the core of it should work.

If you need any help modifying it, feel free to reach out.

Thanks,
Rich/dw

Hi Rich, thanks for posting this, I have it now. Had a quick look at it, very complex, will take me some time to understand it.

Thanks, Don

Don-- I've boiled it down to the 'basics' for you. :)

Regards,
Rich/dw

dim COM_PORT$ = "COM2" ' replace with COM1 or COM2
dim COM_SPEED$ = "115200" ' replace with baud rate
dim CHAR_OUT$
dim CHARS_IN$

cls
open COM_PORT$+":"+COM_SPEED$+","+"256"+",get_serial_input" as 5

print "Terminal running, press ESC to exit."
do
CHAR_OUT$ = INKEY$
if CHAR_OUT$ <> "" then
if CHAR_OUT$ = chr$(27) then exit
print #5, CHAR_OUT$;
end if
loop
close #5
end

sub get_serial_input
CHARS_IN$ = input$(LOC(#5),#5)
print CHARS_IN$;
end sub
