Nearly any terminal program can communicate with the SAM32 (baud=112500, data=8 bit, parity=None, flow control=XON/XOFF). For example...
MacOS
- In terminal type:
ls /dev/tty.*
. The SAM32 will likely be listed as /dev/tty.usbmodem_____
- Now enter:
screen /dev/tty.YOURBOARDNAMEHERE 115200
- You may or may not see a prompt, press
Ctrl+C
- You can now enter the REPL by pressing any key, or hit
Ctrl+D
to reload the main.py file
- Exit screen at any time by pressing
Ctrl+A
+ \\
Windows
- Windows doesn't have a built-in terminal program like MacOS. Personally, I like PuTTY, or termite. You can also use the arduino serial monitor if you'd like!
- For something like PuTTY, set the Connection Type to Serial
- Press the
Windows Key
and type device manager (select it)
- In device manager, scroll down to "Ports (COM & LPT)" and expand it
- Plug in, then unplug the SAM32 and notice the impacted "COM" port.
- Return to PuTTY and enter "COM___" in the "Serial Line" field, and then click "Open"
