Serial Communicator

The Serial Communicator plugin is a simple to use utility which enables you to transmit and receive data via a serial cable connected to your PC and development board. The easy to use configuration window allows you to select port number, Baud rate, parity, byte size and number of stop bits. Alternatively, you can use Serial Communicator favourites to quickly load preconfigured connection settings.
