Jordan Earls / TermControl

An extremely basic VT100 terminal interface. This will generate the proper escape codes to do things such as moving the cursor and clearing the screen. It takes up practically no resources and is really just a nice short cut to avoid figuring out the escape codes yourself.

A super simple way to implement crude terminal user interfaces over Stream/Serial using VT100 escape codes.

Simple example:

Serial pc(USBTX, USBRX); 
int main() {
    TermControl ctrl;
    ctrl.SetTerminal(&pc);
    ctrl.Reset();
    ctrl.Clear();
    ctrl.PrintAt(5,10,"FooBar!");
    int i=0;
    i=0;
    while(1) {
        i++;
        ctrl.SetCursor(5,11);
        pc.printf("%i",i);
        
    }
}

This simple program will continuously count, but instead of scrolling and such, it will print the counted numbers in one place. In this case, row 11, column 5.

I don't break out every escape code for the VT100, but I plan on adding more. Maybe even try to get some sort of support for the notion of "widgets" and such. Lightweight is my overall goal though.
