Nano TTY¶
Small serial terminal for debugging your robots
Once upon a time I found a Nokia display in my drawer, and figured out I need to try to use it in a project. So I went and built the simplest thing – a small serial display, that I can connect to my robots for debugging. That’s how µtty was born. It is actually very useful, but a little bit cumbersome to use. So I decided to try and improve the design a little bit.
Nano TTY is following the same idea – a small screen that lets you see the serial traffic from your project. However, there are some improvements:
much smaller and lighter
high-contrast OLED display
fast, smooth scrolling, using a scroll wheel
large scroll buffer
There may be further improvements, depending on how well this goes, but this is the minimum plan.
