I am trying to control my rover with the wasd keys and I uploaded the arduino code to my robot. I know it works because I used hyperterminal on my dads laptop and it works. I was wondering if it is possible to do the same thing except on a mac. I downloaded a program called Zterm which I read online that it is a similar program, but I just dont know how to connect to the robot.
I currently use SecureCRT (but it’s a commercial program $$$)
Previous to that I used Minicom (but you need Macports first).
what about the screen command from withing “terminal”?
The “Serial Monitor” in the Arduino software is a good terminal !
Hi markl,
There may be hyperterminal-like emulators out there for MAC, but for now your best friend is Google. We will keep an eye out and perhaps other users will provide their input as well. Hyperterm.exe is a good start (and can be used with Windows 7).
Sincerely,
