Contributors and collaborators are welcome !!!
This started as a basic Serial communications test tool that i created for when at work to make my life easier working with rs232 , rs485 / serial com ports and to monitor data sent and recieved.
Alot of other Serial programs are BUGGY as hell so i made my own and added to it over time.
My Goal is to add features like Modbus , 12c and other protocols or if someone want’s to contribute or collaborate i would be very gratefull aswell as everyone knows time is money now and a succesful commit will be added to a changelog.
This is licensed under the GPL-V2 as to keep any versions of this OPEN-SOURCED and maybe grow into a bigger more comprehensive program and keep it free for all to use and modify as alot of programs like this expect payment.

Uses In The Real World
Test USB To Serail Convertes (loop TX - RX)
Check for data Loss
Test cables (where cable lenghts maybe an issue etc…).
Test communications on devices :
Arduino
Rasberry Pi
Modems
Embedded Hardware
Printers
RFID
etc...
Test different Serial protocols :
UART Protocol
USART Protocol
USB Protocol
I2C Protocol
SPI Protocol
CAN Protocol
Modbus RTU
Modbus ASCII
LON
Proprietary Protocols
Test functions on :
RS232
RS485
RS422
LON
1-Wire
I2C
etc...
Test CRC / Checksums /BCC and others to verify commands sent and recieved.
Use as a Listener on RS485 , 422 etc…
Plans for the future
I wish to add other protocols and additional features , hopefully with the help of Contributors from Github and make this an easy to use , fucntional and comprehesive FREE Serial communcations test tool available .
This is an essential tool for any developer wanting to Implement a proprietary Protocol or to get a project up and running faster for popular protocols.
I will update the usage when i get time , i thought i would share this project and see if it can grow further here.
Happy coding.
Philip
