Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

I've been using HyperTerm with XP
with success, but am going to try
Linux. How do I get that going ?
I'm using Zorin distro, so I could
probably use Wine w/Hyperterm, but
would like to try a more native
Linux approach.

I don't know Zorin but try any of these
screen
putty
minicom
picocom
gtkterm
gterm
moserial

You need to know the name of the device (likely something like /dev/ttyACM0) and to have permissions to access it - try as root initially if need be.

If you don't know the device, look at the output from dmesg

I use
screen /dev/ttyACM0 115200
or
screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200
for various boards
and have udev set to detect the boards then assign permissions to group plugdev (I'm a member)

google will get you details of any of the above

The 115200 is the baud rate, sorry can't recall what these boards default to!
