## Using PuTTY to Connect to a USB-Serial Interface
|
|
|
|
1. **Download and Install PuTTY**: If you haven't already, download and install PuTTY from the official website: [PuTTY Download Page](https://www.putty.org/).
|
|
|
|
2. **Connect the USB-Serial Adapter**: Connect the USB-Serial adapter to your Kumquat device and ensure that the drivers are properly installed on your computer.
|
|
|
|
3. **Open PuTTY**: Launch PuTTY from your desktop or start menu.
|
|
|
|
4. **Configure the Serial Connection**:
|
|
- In the PuTTY Configuration window, select the "Serial" connection type.
|
|
- In the "Serial line" field, enter the COM port to which your USB-Serial adapter is connected (e.g., COM1, COM2, etc.).
|
|
- Set the "Speed" to 115200 baud.
|
|
- Ensure that the "Data bits" are set to 8, "Stop bits" to 1, and "Parity" to None (8N1 configuration).
|
|
- Click the "Open" button to start the serial connection.
|
|
|
|
5. **Interact with the Kumquat**: Once the connection is established, you should see a terminal window where you can interact with the Kumquat device. You can now send commands and receive responses as needed.
|
|
|
|
## Using GtkTerm to Connect to a USB-Serial Interface
|
|
|
|
1. **Install GtkTerm**: If GtkTerm is not already installed on your system, you can install it using your package manager. For example, on Ubuntu-based systems, you can install GtkTerm using the following command:
|
|
```sh
|
|
sudo apt-get install gtkterm
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. **Connect the USB-Serial Adapter**: Connect the USB-Serial adapter to your Kumquat device and ensure that the drivers are properly installed on your computer.
|
|
|
|
3. **Open GtkTerm**: Launch GtkTerm from your applications menu or terminal.
|
|
|
|
4. **Configure the Serial Connection**:
|
|
- In the GtkTerm window, go to "Configuration" > "Port" and select the appropriate serial port (e.g., /dev/ttyUSB0).
|
|
- Set the "Baudrate" to 115200.
|
|
- Set the "Data bits" to 8, "Stop bits" to 1, and "Parity" to None (8N1 configuration).
|
|
- Click the "Open" button to establish the serial connection.
|
|
|
|
5. **Interact with the Kumquat**: Once the connection is established, you should see a terminal window where you can interact with the Kumquat device. You can now send commands and receive responses as needed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
By following these steps, you can use PuTTY or GtkTerm to connect to the Kumquat and interact with the device via the serial connection. |
