The serial port monitor for Arduino and other embedded development.
The goal is to make a user friendly serial port monitor for the GNOME desktop.
- Remembers the last used settings (Theme, Baud Rate, Port etc.)
- Auto reconnects to the serial port when the connection is lost
- Can log data to a file
- Customizable colors
- Displays data in different formats: ASCII, BIN, OCT or DEC
- Can open multiple instances
Depending on your system you may need to add a user to dialout group to open serial ports:
sudo usermod -a -G dialout $USER
sudo usermod -a -G plugdev $USER
You may also need to install udev rules. PlatformIO have a good instructions
Ubuntu users also must enable "Access USB hardware directly" on the Ubuntu Store Software store:
or from command line:
snap connect tauno-monitor:raw-usb
You can build Tauno Monitor using GNOME Builder: import the project and press the Play button.
