As a guy who uses serial enough to wonder the same thing, my solution was buying a cheap Linux machine. Serial is thousands of times simpler and more convenient to use on Linux.
Probably not too helpful if you’re dealing with poorly written windows serial software targeting embedded though.
- bleomycin 7y agoWhat software are you using on linux to interface with serial? I always used screen but it seems there’s probably a better way?
- rhexs 7y agoScreen. Most of the time saved is not having to try to install whatever bizarre serial driver windows needs. Also python if you need to programmatically connect and operate a device over serial. Quite easy.
- ahartmetz 7y agoYep, screen is the easiest. Minicom often gets confused, or at least confuses me with its weird UI. With screen I just run "screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200".
