Hi, this is complicate for me to explain...let' try it nvertheless ;)
I am experimenting with FORTH (punyforth) on an ESP8266. FORTH has a REPL, which -- especially in the beginning -- is very helpful to try things out. With cutecom I can connect to the ESP8266 and get a response. Unfortunately - in this particular case - cutecom separates the input line from what the ESP8266 i sending back. With Arduino devices I had no problem to do the same thing with gnu-screen like this screen /dev/ttyUSB1 115200 ...with the ESP8266 (using the same baudrate as with cutecom before) the cursor get glued in the upper left corner. Hitting a key, CTRL-D. CTRL-C, <RETURN> and other obvious candidates does not help. The only waty out is killall. Now I am in search of a "real terminal"-like thing, which allows me to interactively connect to the ESP8266 while maintaining the chronological sequence of my inputs and the returns of the ESP8266. I tried minicom, but I always dislike the way that beast is configured, Is there anything reliable available...may be even without a gui? Thanks fpr any help in advance! Cheers Meino
