Description:

tinycom 1.1

A simple line based serial terminal GUI written in Python. This is a
tool that’s useful for talking to a variety of serial based hardware
that can involve custom protocols or just a standard command line
interface. It runs on anything that supports Python and Qt.
TinyCom is inspired by the original
CuteCom.

Features

Line oriented input and output, with configurable line ending.
Customizeable serial port configuration.
Automatically enumerates platform serial ports.
History of input lines, to easily regenerate them with a click.
Log the session to a file.



Runtime Requirements
This is just an overview of runtime requirements. All major versions of
both the Python interpreter and QT API are supported.

Python2 or Python3
PyQt4 or
PyQt5 or
PySide
Qt
pySerial



Installation
For simplicity, instructions for only PyQt4 and Python2 are listed here.
However, you can adjust to use any combination of Python2/Python3 and
PyQt4/PyQt5/Pyside if you prefer when it comes to runtime dependencies.
On Ubuntu, first install dependencies using the system package manager.
sudo apt-get install python python-qt4 python-serial python-pip
Then, use pip to install tinycom.
pip install [--user] tinycom
Or, if you’re installing from source:
pip install [--user] tinycom-<version>.tar.bz2
The –user option causes tinycom to be installed in your home directory
under ~/.local.
Then, if you somehow get fed up with TinyCom’s awesomeness, uninstall
it.
pip uninstall tinycom


Running
Just execute tinycom.

Main Window




PyQt4/PyQt5/PySide
TinyCom can use PyQt4, PyQt5, or PySide for its Qt API. As long as you
have one installed, it will be automatically detected and used at
runtime. However, if you wish to force a specific Qt API, you can set
the QT_API environment variable to one of the following values when
running.
QT_API=pyqt4 tinycom
QT_API=pyqt5 tinycom
QT_API=pyside tinycom
