Serial Port SimulIDE 1.0.0

The new Serial Port component (basic implementation) is working at Rev 966.

It is similar to the old one, but it is connected by Pins, so it can be used with Harsware or Software implementations.
And not linked to an Mcu like the old one.

It has it's own Serial Monitor accesible from Context Menu.


Here is an small video showing how it works:

Hi arcachofo. How do I create a virtual serial port in linux? I want to connect a web app in nodejs and I want to test with SimulIDE

Hi.
You can try with socat, fpr example:
sudo socat PTY,link=/dev/ttyS1,mode=0666 PTY,link=/dev/ttyS2,mode=0666

You have to explicitly press "open" button to make it work. Can it be an option that open it automatically when you start the simulation ?

You have to press the button only once, then it will remain open until you press "Close".

Anyway I will try to add an option to open it at simulation start if it's closed.

I use SimulIDE for high school courses. And this option will solve a lot of problems from inattentive students.
Thanks for your effort !

Added "Auto Open" option at Rev 2067.
