UsbTerminal is a terminal emulator (sometimes called "monitor"). It uses the phone’s or tablet’s USB port to communicate with external devices. The phone or tablet must support USB-Host Mode a.k.a USB On-The-Go (USB-OTG), and a USB-OTG cable is required. Features: ● Support CDC-ACM based devices ● Support FTDI based devices ● Support Winchiphead-CH340/CH341 based devices. (This is somewhat experimental. Please send feedback). ● Support two keyboard input modes: 1. Auto - Like on a “real” terminal, there is no dedicated input field. Characters are sent to the serial device immediately as keys are clicked on the keyboard. This is the default mode. 2. Dedicated input field - Keyboard input goes to a dedicated input field and is sent to the device only after a “Send” button is pressed. ● Support sending control character (e.g. Ctrl-C) ● Support controlling of DTR and CTS ● Log sessions to files. These log files can then be analyzed, emailed, etc ● Large scroll-back buffer (configurable scroll-back buffer size) ● Blinking cursor that indicates the current cursor position on the screen ● Status line. Indication of connection state and error messages ● Build-in help. No need to be online to read the help screen ● No root required Limitations: ● No support of escape-sequences for cursor positioning, text color, etc. This means no VT100 emulation, and that Unix programs like vi, emacs, top, etc are not supported Supported USB devices: ● As of version 1.4 it is possible to work with devices that are not predefined in the app, provided that they use one of the three supported protocols (CDC/ACM, FT232R, CH340). When using such non-predefined device, click "Connect USB device" on the main menu, and then select which protocol to use ● Arduino. FTDI-based (e.g. original Arduino Uno), CDC-based (e.g. Arduino Uno R3) and CH340-based (e.g. cheap Arduino clones) ● Any device that uses the FTDI FT232R chip ● Note: Prolific devices (e.g. devices based on the PL2303 chip) are currently NOT supported If you know of other devices that use CDC-ACM that are currently not supported, and you can email me their technical details (Vendor-ID and Product-ID), I will be glad to add support for them.
