The humble standalone serial terminal might be long gone from the collective computing experience, but in the ghostly form of a software virtual terminal and a serial converter it remains the most ...

Typewriters are something which was once ubiquitous, yet which abruptly faded away and are now a rare sight. There was a period of a few years in which electric typewriters and computers existed ...

Does anyone have experience with this? I found one USB-serial adapter which the manufacturer claims is Mac compatible. I've tried a few others I borrowed from people, but none of them ...

The simulation of a serial port in software in order to allow USB, Ethernet or some other input/output port to take its place. Virtual serial ports are necessary to enable an application that was ...

[Photo: jstn.cc] Are you ever struck with the urge to briefly get away from your nice color display, with its slim profile and large screen, to retreat to the warm glow of an old-school terminal ...

I had a thread over in the Programmer's Symposium, but I think the line of questioning has turned more into a kernel issue.<br><br>I have been tasked with getting response time for writing a single ...

The project is also known as terminalscope which uses standard PS/2 keyboard input and 54×24 resolution oscilloscope screen in order to build a bidirectional serial terminal console. The project is ...

Although serial port connections have been replaced by USB ports in most computers, older business equipment such as fax machines and printers may still utilize them. When a serial port stops ...

The project shows how an 8-bit ATmega128 microcontroller was used to run a dumb terminal along with an LCD screen and a keyboard. An RS232 is being used by this simple serial terminal in order for a ...

The circuit shown in Figure 1 provides a simple, low-power means of digitizing analog signals and sending the data directly to a PC's serial port where it can easily be read, analyzed, and stored. The ...
