Sermon

May 10, 2014

Sermon is a command line serial monitor and transmitter which has several advantages over typical alternatives like screen and the Arduino serial monitor.

Instead of sending data immediately after each key press, type data first then press enter to send it.
Send lists of bytes with the ${0x7A, 0x7B, ...} syntax.
Ability to send the contents of a file to the connected serial device.
Optionally log all received data to a file.
Automatically frame or append data to each string before transfer.

Full documentation and source code is available on github
