Windows

On a Windows-based workstation, use any terminal emulator console that supports a serial port, such as Tera Term.

Tera Term

Tera Term is an open-source terminal emulator that lets you connect to hosts via serial port or the network. The default settings should work with the RBRcervello interface. In the unlikely event when they do not, load the configuration file provided below using the "Setup→Restore setup" menu.

Teraterm_RBRcervello.INI

Highlighting text on the terminal automatically copies it to the clipboard. Right-clicking on the terminal will paste the saved text on it.

Alternatively, configure the settings manually as follows:

In "Setup→Terminal setup" menu, enter the terminal size:

In "Setup→Keyboard setup" menu, select "Delete key":

In "Setup→Serial port setup and connection" menu, select the correct COM port:

Baud rate, the number of data/parity/stop bits, and flow control settings do not matter for USB communication devices.

Linux

On a Linux-based workstation, use any terminal emulator console that supports a serial port, such as Minicom.

Minicom

Minicom is a serial communication program that connects to devices through a GNU/Linux serial ports. Use the "-s" command to set up the terminal with the right port and settings, or execute it with explicit settings at runtime with the correct device:

CODE

minicom -D /dev/ttyACM0

To copy and paste text from and to a Linux terminal, use Ctrl+Shift+C and Ctrl+Shift+V.
