YAuCP is a collection of tools for uC (micro-controller) development. Its designed mainly for AVR uControllers and aims to develop almost every part of the development chain, ranging from software tools to hardware designs.
Enhancements:
- This release of MagicTerm features a serial port terminal with some handy features.
- In addition to the default readline behaviour it can read an arbitrary number of bytes, has working string triggers, and makes all serial port configuration options avaliable in the configuration file.
- pySerial is now required.

Serial Over IP is a tool for the transport of serial interfaces over UDP/IP. It is very usefull for connecting distant equipment that run via a serial interfaces to a local computer.


One linux will be server and one will be client. On the server you can start the program typing the following command:

bash# serialoverip -d /dev/ttyS0 9600-8n1 -s 127.0.0.1 3000

... and on the client:

bash# serialoverip -c 127.0.0.1 3000 -d /dev/ttyS1 9600-8n1

In both commands the IP address is the server IP. Note that you have to start the server first, and it will be efectively be running only after the first packet received from the client.

Audio::Radio::Sirius is a Perl module to control a Sirius satellite radio tuner.

SYNOPSIS

Sirius satellite radio (http://www.sirius.com) is a US based satellite radio serice. While none of the tuners they make have serial or USB connectors, it has been found that generation 2.5 tuners (Sportster, Starmate, * Replay, Sirius Connect, and others) have a common tuner module.

Furthermore this tuner module generally has a serial interface. Presently only one commercial site is offering a modification for adding a serial port to a Sirius tuner: http://www.rush2112.net. Google should reveal schematics and parts needed for adding ports to other tuners.

Once your tuner is connected to your system and accessible via a serial port like device, you can use this module to access it:

use Audio::Radio::Sirius;
use Win32::SerialPort; # or Device::SerialPort on Linux

my $serial = new Win32::SerialPort(com1);
my $tuner = new Audio::Radio::Sirius;

$tuner->connect($serial);
$tuner->power(1);
$tuner->channel(184); # tune in the preview channel

COMSERV is a program that allows you to talk to a network terminal server such as a Xyplex MAXserver 1600.
The handy thing about this program is that the client side of the connection does not need to know anything about how to talk to the terminal server. COMSERV handles the connection details. Thus, you can use existing programs like tip to talk to devices attached to your network terminal server without any modification.
Also, you can use COMSERV to turn your Unix computer itself into a terminal server and serve up its own local serial ports over the network for remote systems to access. This is handy if you have several systems lying around and you want to utilize devices attached to their serial ports.
My primary motivation for writing this program was to expand the I/O capabilities of my FreeBSD home computer. I have many serial devices that I want to connect to my PC which include my modem, Palm Pilot, GPS, various micro-controllers, my EEPROM programmer, and other computers and printers. But with only two serial ports on my PC, I became annoyed at having to reach around the back of my computer and swap cables every time I wanted to plug in a different device. [I think all inventions are the product of the laziness of the inventor :-)] So I searched eBay and found a couple of these Xyplex terminal servers that looked promising, I bid on them, got them, and began hacking.
The only problem with using this type of device for serial expansion, is that if you use a program like tip on Unix (tip is a very basic but functional program to connect directly to a serial port), it expects to be able to open the serial port by opening a /dev/xyz device file that corresponds to a real serial device. The Xyplex, on the other hand, communicates to the Unix system via an ethernet network. In order to talk to one of the serial ports on the Xyplex, you need to establish a TCP/IP connection between your Unix computer and the Xyplex device at a particular TCP port. The TCP port you connect to determines which Xyplex serial port you connect to. For the Xyplex 1600, serial port 1 is TCP port 2100, serial port 2, is TCP port 2200 and so on.
Unfortuneately, tip, and programs like it, have no idea how to establish a TCP/IP connection to the Xyplex in order to transfer data to and from a serial device connected to the Xyplex.
This is what COMSERV does. COMSERV creates a set of pseudo-tty device files that are palatable to tip and other programs. COMSERV opens the master side of the pseudo terminal and the client program (tip in this case) opens the slave side. Data written on the slave endpoint comes out on the master endpoint and vice-versa. This mechanism establishes a connection between the client program and COMSERV. COMSERV then uses TCP/IP to establish a connection to the network terminal server.
Thus, data originating from the client program is written to the slave tty where is read by COMSERV. COMSERV then writes the data to the network socket to the Xyplex, which then passes it on to the designated serial port. Data originating from the serial device attached to the Xyplex takes the reverse path.
Only one instance of COMSERV is required to be running on your system to handle all of your network terminal servers (it can handle as many terminal servers and ports as the speed and resources of your system allows). COMSERV is designed to handle many connections in this fashion, and does so by multiplexing between them using asynchronous device and socket I/O.
While I wrote COMSERV to talk to a Xyplex MAXserver 1600, it should work with other manufacturers products as long as they follow a similar API. The Xyplex devices that I have are 16 port devices that connect serial devices to an ethernet network.
If COMSERV sounds useful to you, feel free to download and use it. The program is provided in source form, so you will need to extract it and compile it. If you use FreeBSD, simply do the following:
% cd /usr/ports/comms/comserv
% make install
I use it on FreeBSD 4-STABLE. I dont currently know of any outstanding bugs, but if you find and fix any bugs, please send me your fixes so that others can benefit from them as well.
If you do decide to use COMSERV, please note the accompanying license. In a nutshell, you can use it without restriction as long as you credit me and keep the copyright notice intact. If you happen to like it, feel free to send your thanks, letting me know. If you dont like it, let me know why, perhaps I can improve it. If you improve it, please send me your changes and Ill see about integrating them so that others can benefit from your improvements.
Enhancements:
- Implement a power of 2 backoff and retry for failing connections with a maximum 10 minute wait. This keeps from filling up the logs with failed repeated attempts.

Dictator project is a Rapid Serial Visual Presentation (RSVP) on-screen text reader.
Dictator permits faster, easier on-screen reading of text using the method of Rapid Serial Visual Presentation (RSVP). Features include dynamic text flow, Unicode support, a bookmark manager, customizable Web references, customizable text import filters, fullscreen mode, and more.
The problem with these texts is that reading them on-screen the conventional way is a drag and printing them out is time-consuming, costly, and wasteful. Dictator provides an alternative approach called Rapid Serial Visual Presentation (RSVP) in which words are displayed consecutively in the same place at a user-controllable rate.
This method prevents unconscious re-reading of adjacent text and decreases the tendency of the reader to oralise the text, allowing for increased reading speeds. RSVP also permits the use of larger fonts for text display which improves text clarity. While it does take some getting used to, with a little practise you may find that reading with Dictator becomes faster and easier than reading from a book.
Main features:
- Rapid Serial Visual Presentation (RSVP) text file reading.
- Single word and multiword displays.
- Unicode support (with Unicode versions of wxPython only).
- Variable reading rate.
- Easy keyboard controls.
- Bookmark manager with automatic recall of last position in text.
- Dynamic text flow (rate related to word length, punctuation).
- Paragraph cues.
- Adjustable fonts and colours.
- Fullscreen mode.
- Text search.
- Customisable text filters allow scraping from PDF/html/Microsoft Word Documents.
- Customisable web queries on current word (e.g. look up definition).
- Open from clipboard.
- Open URL (via text filter only).
