Katuobushi

Katsuobushi is a USB serial communication device that runs on your OS terminal.

Environment

• Windows 10

Other OS may work, but I have not tried it.

Description

Katsuobushi is a CLI tool that allows USB serial communication on your OS terminal.

You configure port and baud rate when it executes. The port is configured with --port. You can check the target port with MODE command if you are using windows OS. Baud rate is configured with --baud-rate(default 9600).

One-shot mode

It sends the target some texts received by standard-in.

$echo hello | katuobushi --port COM3
or
$cat input.txt | katuobushi --port COM3

Interactive mode

--interactive(short-flag -i) option allows that the tool communicates target in interactive mode.

Send

It sends a line as ASCII which are entered by standard-in. Each text is split by new line.

Receive

It outputs received data as ASCII into standard-out. Receivable data size is 128 bytes. Received data are read by polling. That polling timing can be configured by --read-time(default 100ms).
