LDmicro Forum - Serial GUI (graphical user interface) or (Operator terminal)

Serial GUI (graphical user interface) or (Operator terminal) (by Max)
Hello,

My new LDmicro project require to transmit and receive data over long range over 232 via 422 converter, I want to be able to interact with the PIC micro and display the data taken on screen.

I wondering if anybody know a software to transform a PC into an operator terminal... Panelview... Serial GUI... I'm not really good at programming, so a simple and flexible application would be nice... something like RHOMBUS MicroGUI CF but designed for serial communication and not limited to AVR...

Your suggestions are welcome !

Thanks

I'm developping sdsOS and a PC (windows palteform) software that can perhaps help you. http://sourceforge.net/projects/small-device-os

The software is connected with the device through a COM port (RS232).

The communication protocol is very simple and powerfull :
- all data is user (ascii) visible, no ctrl char allowed except for pipe (see further) handling. Binary data must be converted to hex nibble or other manner.
- pipe concept : it's like if you have several RS232 lines merged together.

The PC software filter the RS232 stream for pipe marker and dispatch (and convert if necessary) data to "Gadgets". A "Gadget" is a graphical unit that display (or provide) the data

Some pipes have powerfull feature, like the I2C pipe that allow Virtual I2C Device : "Gadget" in the PC software that work like a real I2C hardware (example with a virtual DS1307 RTC Clock)

I found a really interesting software... this is called (Bill Redirect)

I'm currently playing with the demo version and for now it does pretty much what I expected... on screen customizable buttons,send receive and filter serial data, macro and much more.

If your are looking fore something like this, you may give it a try

Thanks for your suggestion BoomPower!
