nanocom

An ultra simple command line serial client.

Getting started

Install it using

pip install nanocom

and connect to your serial port using

nanocom --port /dev/ttyUSB0 --baudrate 115200

Usage

Running nanocom --help will display all the cli options. The following options are available

-p, --port

The path to the serial port. On macOS it will be something like /dev/tty.usbserial and on Linux probably something like /dev/ttyUSB0. This option is required.

-b, --baudrate

The baudrate of the serial port. This is typically something like 9600 or 115200 but any integer is accepted. If not given, this option defaults to 115200.

-m, --map

A character map, key, value pair, such that when the key character is entered into the client the value string will be sent instead. The value string can be multiple characters and multiple character maps are allowed. An example would be if you wanted to send a carriage return and a new line when a new line character was given you would use --map "\n" "\r\n".

-c, --exit-char

The exit character where the Ctrl key and this character are used to exit the client. The character must be one of A to Z, [, \, ], or _. For example if you gave the option --exit-char \\ then the client would exit when you pressed Ctrl + \.
