Good Bluetooth serial monitor for android
Posted: Sun Jan 26, 2025 7:08 am
Hello:
Does anyone have any recommendations for a good Android Bluetooth serial monitor?
I have a project I need to take on the road (EAS8266) and don't want to take my laptop, so I got an HC05 Bluetooth device and it connects to my phone and works fine.
The problem, I have found no good serial monitors / terminals that will properly handle control codes like backspace (\b) or CR (\r).
Some apps simply ignore those special characters, some render them as a ^H or ^r, and the worst offenders print nothing on the screen until it receives a \n (cr and lf) then it blasts the whole thing at once.
I have searched the play store for Bluetooth serial monitor, Bluetooth serial terminal, Bluetooth serial emulator even Bluetooth serial console.
I have code that displays some statuses and I don't want the screen to scroll.
An ideal app would be one with cursor positioning, even color control.
Thanks, Mark.
