Hey guys, how's everything??

I finally got my MBED and one of the first projects I'm making is a serial port communication utility for MBED. We can all agree that serial communication is great because it allows us to quickly connect to MBED and debug programs.

With cross-platform in mind, I have already started to code it and I would now want to know what features you think a Serial Communicator should have. I have programmed the two basic features which are 'Listen' and 'Send Command'. Using these with a Custom Library for MBED, it would prove most useful for any user using any operating system and having any level of knowledge on the subject.

With this, I then plan on releasing this utility here for anyone that needs it. So, what do you think??

Cheers

I think I might just be a bit ahead of you. I have a Serial comms package that does send, listen, command, RPC style stuff, lots more and it works over serial and ethernet transports.

Hey Andy, that's awesome :) I have searched the website but didn't find anything directly related... My search skills must not be good :P

Well, I will still continue the project but since you already have one, I'll keep mine to myself. (Programming it in Java)

Cheers

Hi there, you didn't find it yet cos I haven't released it yet. Still polishing the network code. But please do release yours when ready, don't hold back on my account. We can all learn from each other :)

Well, mine will be a much simpler version :) but thanks for the support, I'll be sure to release it here.

Tiago, I can assure you mine started simple too! Your's will grow too ;)

does the mbed support pc.scanf(%d, &test)

Hey,

@Andy: Well thanks a lot for the support. I'll be doing it next week, since I'm still on exams at my university, but once finished, I'll start coding what's left.

@Charles: I recommend reading this: http://mbed.org/handbook/Serial It's all there with code samples.

Cheers
