• Linux Example:
PuTTY generally handles most cases OK but can have issues with line drawing characters on certain platforms.
These settings seem to work best (tested on Windows):
Window
Columns x Rows =
80x24
Window > Appearance
Font =
Courier New 10pt
or
Consolas 10pt
Window > Translation
Remote Character Set =
Use font encoding
or
UTF-8
Window > Translation
Handling of line drawing characters =
Use font in both ANSI and OEM modes
or
Use Unicode line drawing code points
Window > Colours
Indicate bolded text by changing = The colour
GNU screen
In many cases
screen
may be invoked simply by using the proper command line:
• Mac OS X
sudo screen /dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART 115200
• Linux
sudo screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200
• FreeBSD
sudo screen /dev/cuaU0 115200
If portions of the text are unreadable but appear to be properly formatted, the most likely culprit is a character encoding
mismatch in the terminal. For example, on OS X this is commonly required
sudo screen -U /dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART 115200
Adding the
-U
parameter to the
screen
command line arguments forces it to use UTF-8 for character encoding.
