seriallog

A small command-line utility for logging the output of a serial port in real time.

Installation

Install globally with npm:

npm install -g seriallog

Usage

Serial log will often work without any options:

$ seriallog

Watching serial port /dev/cu.usbserial-A505WVU9
  baudRate: 112500
---------------------------------------------------------------
ESP8266 Initializing
Lights initialized
Connecting to Coordinator.............^C
$

However, you can also specify baud rate and port:

$ seriallog --baudrate 9600 --port /dev/cu.usbserial-12345678

If you do not specify a serial port, it will try and figure it out for you. If there is more than one serial port available, it will prompt you for the port you prefer.

If you do not specify a baudrate, it defaults to 115200.

For more information, run seriallog --help
