ESD Terminal has now been updated. With the advent of Windows 7, Hyperterminal seems to have disappeared, and the Windows 7 replacement seems to be Putty which is a free download. Unfortunately Putty has a few hangups - ie, lose the com port and the program hangs up and has to be restarted. This version of ESD terminal handles this a lot more gracefully - the Statusbar will show the status of the conenction as either Online or Offline. Even better, disconnect the USB dongle, the Online changes to Offline, and when the USB dongle is reinstated, Offline becomes Online.
We have also added a AutoDetect for the COM port which fills the Combo Box with a list of available COM ports, one of which may be selected and connected.
New features are MUX mode, improved graphics for the PIO dir/on/off functions, updated help and other stuff. The main purpose of this program is to help us debug bluetooth connections using Bluegiga iWrap, and any comments on useful changes/upgrades/enhancements would be appreciated.
