Re: [Flashforth-devel] FF 5.x - Xon Xoff with Teraterm

[Mikael N. <mik...@fl...>]

I am using the ff-shell.py from the ff distribution.
It is the only program I found to work reliably with USB-to-Serial 
converters.

Use the #send filepath/filename command to send a file to ff reliably 
without any delays.
The #send command waits for a newline from the PIC before sending the 
next line.
In addition I have XON/XOFF configured.

I have not tried it under windows but I think it should be possible to 
run Python programs in Windows.
The Python pyserial lib is required.

Another option that usually works with any terminal program is to use 
CTS/RTS HW flow control.
You have to wire a pin for the CTS signal to USB-Serial converter for 
this.

The problem with most converters is that they do not support XON/XOFF 
well
because they have so large buffers that the XOFF is not transfered 
until it is too late.
