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.

The normal mode is VT Terminal. All text from the device is sent to the terminal and keystrokes made in the terminal window are sent to the device.
Macros and command line text is also sent directly to the device. The command  line box has a command scroll back buffer which make sending repetitive commands easy.
Many system messages are also sent to the terminal window.

External VT helper assumes the an external terminal program such as TeraTerm is connected to the data port. All data is transferred between the attached device and the terminal program. Additionally, you can send macros and other commands etc from the Control centre without interrupting the terminal session.

Note: If you are using TeraTerm you may have to make a change to it's ini file.
When using TCPIP, TeraTerm is usually configured to send data when it gets a line-end character.
This is to save sending lots of small packets but really stuffs up the user experience when typing. Changing it to character at a time will fix most problems.
Look for:
Line at a time mode
EnableLineMode=on
and change it to  
EnableLineMode=off

Monitor / Hex monitor also assume a connected external terminal. MMCC will monitor and display text going between the terminal program and the attached device in ASCII or HEX.
This is very helpful when debugging VT control codes etc.


If TeraTerm is on the same PC as MMCC, connect TeraTerm to TCPIP localhost:50900

Hi Jim,

very cool, thank you.
I will try it tomorrow.
Used internal VT terminal today, but had some strange effects with PicoW / last Version.

Also useful, that both Telnet and serial is supported.

You have to connect TeraTerm to MMCC, not the pico.
connect TeraTerm to TCPIP localhost port:50900



I need to see where you have connected!

  atmega8 said  Hallo,

Thanks for the post atmega8.

Thanks Jim for the replies etc.

Been playing with an F4 going between MCC & Tera Term opening & closing Com ports etc on each which was a bit of a pain so the post came up at a good time.

I've got the above set up working I think after a bit fun. I didn't realise one had to select Telnet on TT rather that SSH (& remember to save settings in TT). Once I did that, I got print data to flow from the F4 to TT via MCC ok.
I couldn't get commands back from TT to the F4 for a bit, but I think I got that sorted out now. (TT ini updated among other things)

I have noticed that initiating a RUN command from TT gets data back from the F4 to TT immediately, but if RUN is initiated from the MCC, the first few lines come up on the MCC, then transfers to TT.

Still playing.

Thanks again

MMCC has to look at the response to see if it's part of the commands being sent. It takes a while to realise that it (MMCC) can go back to sleep.

I will add that to the help.
(My first reply to this thread was copy and paste from the help files)

It will be even better when MMCC gets auto-reconnect in the next release. I have been enjoying that for a few weeks now.

Just getting wordwrap working fully.

Jim.
