Wish Sending serial commands

[Peter Simpson]

Hello,
In the Arduino IDE, when you select the Serial Monitor you can send commands through the serial port directly to the microcontroller board (Ardiono/WeMos), for example AT command AT+GMR etc etc etc.

It would be nice if the same thing was incorporated directly into B4R. Yes I know I know I know I can just open the Serial Monitor or basically any terminal program that can send and receive serial data and that would work too, hey but I'm lazy. I really do believe that adding a basic terminal feature at the top of logs that already uses the B4R selected serial port and baudrate would be a great addition to the software.

Cheers...

You can use serial connector to send commands: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/tool-external-serial-connector.65724/
It is an external program but the IDE knows how to communicate with it.

I already know about that solution @Erel, but having an internal solution would have been a nice touch as I already use Putty and Arduino IDE Serial Monitor

You can almost consider it part of the IDE. The IDE will start and stop it. Its main advantage is that you can modify the connector if you need to create a custom solution.
