http://askubuntu.com – I'm having minicom running and listening to a serial port and I'm searching for having beep's (audio notification) when they are new inputs. Is it possible? Are there other programs which could enable to read and write on serial port and have beeps? Using Ubuntu 11.10. (HowTos)

Hi,

I have a usb serial adapter and was happily using minicom with it under openSUSE 11.2. I've upgraded to openSUSE 11.3 and I can only use minicom with this serial adapter as root. I had previously had problems writing to /var/lock under openSUSE 11.2 which I worked around by changing the minicom config to use /tmp as its lock file location.

Hi,

I am not sure, if this is right place to post this question.

I am trying to read out data from serial port using Minicom. I think so that when my program write a character with value 0, the minicom omits the data somehow. I don't see 0 or NULL character in the output. I don't know how to resolve this problem.

Thanks,

Pranav

Multiple minicom session 2 years 30 weeks ago

Hi everyone,

Is it possible that I can run multiple session of minicom in a server? For example, 3 USB to Serial cable connecting to 3 console port device from a single server. /dev/ttyUSB0 /dev/ttyUSB1 /dev/ttyUSB2 and created 3 different minicom config for each. Then 3 different users are accessing 3 different console using minicom.

Hi Mod, If there's thread like this, kindly redirect me.

I fumblefingered the serial port setup for Minicom, and now it ALWAYS finds the incorrect settings.

I am using Prolific Technology PL2303 Serial Port on Dell T1500, with Ubuntu 11.04

# lsusb Bus 001 Device 022: ID 067b:2303 Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2303 Serial Port

The device ttyUSB0 can show up on PC, and minicom/gtkterm can be started on this device. However, during the usage, there will be data lost.

I'm trying to access my raspberry pi via its serial console on the gpio pins. It's working fine through a USB-3.3v serial dongle. However, there's a problem with long lines and long screens not displaying correctly.

minicom stays offline 4 weeks 5 days ago

I have Fedora 15 PC and tried to open minicom for serial terminal access. However minicom stays offline even though I set serial device to the correct one, dev/ttyUSB0. I'm using usb uart adaptor with cp201x drive. When I use the same usb uart adaptor in Windows and use tera term to open up serial terminal. It works fine.

Hopefully people can help me with this problem. I am working with a Mini2440 ARM device and so far have been able to connect to supervivi with minicom. The problem is that the keyboard inputs are not working or at least they seemed to be mapped wrong. I have already tried other alternatives such as Putty and it's the same problem.

I appreciate any help offered.

I'm currently working on a project that simulates a calculator. I'm transmitting into my computer from my circuitry via serial cable. I'm trying to get my program to listen to the serial port to extract the bit stream. Unfortunately I'm having trouble with the source code in C, starting with the header files all the way down to the addressing.
