This Python and Tkinter application uses the features of UDEV to automatically identify USB to RS-232 type connections.
Connected devices are shown in /dev/serial/by-id as a link to the virtual port. This is used for automatic connection.
User settings such as baud rate and line endings associated with the unique ID are stored in a configuration file for future connections.
Transmit data may be entered as ASCII or hex by using '#' as an entry mode escape character. Entering '#' will toggle mode from ASCII to hex and vice versa. Enter '#' character by entering '##'.
White space characters such as line feed can be entered by using '\' as an escape character. For example '\r' for carriage return. White space characters are ignored in hex mode. Enter '\' by typing '\\'.
