Minimum setting of scale still too large to be optimal.ДЄlso, at risk of sounding impure of concept, tabs would be a cool feature. Maybe eventually it's going to be addressed, hope so. It would be so simple just to make the minimum font or scale smaller so don't really get the development difficulty here. so the same problem remains you can only make Viti, 10 smaller by increasing the border, curvature, which means sacrificing that space and defeating the benefit of the smallness. Yes you can make the font size HUGE now, with the scale feature, but why in practice would you want that to actually work with. And Font size = '10' in this case is is nothing like '10' on any other well-known Mac application, like TextEdit or the Finder or anything really. On my favourite font Viti particularly, there is only 10.

It is still bigger than the font size one would set on a regular terminal. But the minimum font size is still too big. I acknowledge the addition of a scale feature. If there can be reflections, perhaps there could be animated backgrounds (.qtz. Window appears in the position you last had it (and probably always have it!) and not just that default center Tabs (impure I know) and Vertical Split Panes Special characters (or at least some as would be supported in the regular Terminal) There ought to be some sort of more straightforward opacity control so that the user can have the image's visibility dialled up or down in prominence to taste, independent of 'lighting' control.ДЄlso, and I've said it before so why not again, support for the following in future updates would be nice too: Unless you spoil the setting by cranking up the brightness which doesn't look nice. Basically, if you want to keep the screen fairly dark (transparency very low or zero), as I imagine many would, there is no way to make the 'reflection' beneath more conspicuous. (In the previous version, no picture other than the default one would appear at all.)Д«ut the main issue is to do with not being able to control the prominence of the background image, the 'reflection'.

It simply appears as a serial stream that you can communicate with exactly as you would with any other serial device.One aspect of Cathode that could still definitely be improved is the 'Environment'.ДЇor starters, there appears to be a bug so any picture you drag to the Environment window is NOT saved/remembered the next time you open Cathode.

IвЂ™ve used this method to connect to the sparkfun Bluetooth Mate Gold. Once youвЂ™ve connected to the serial bluetooth device with screen, the connection will be held active for the length of your session. Then you will be able to see the device in the list of devices. You must simply make sure that the bluetooth device is paired and active. This method works equally well if you want to connect to a serial bluetooth device. Press вЂњyвЂќ and youвЂ™ll be back to your shell terminal. Screen will then prompt you to quit and kill all of your windows. To exit (and close the screen gracefully) press: control-a Once youвЂ™ve connected, you can use the terminal as you normally would. Remember to specify the speed (baud rate) after the device name.

ZOC is a professional SSH/telnet client and terminal emulator.

Of course it does way more than just serial communication. It has the ability to do direct communication with a serial port. Once youвЂ™ve determined which device you would like to use, you can execute the SCREEN command to start the serial terminal session on your Mac. You should have a look at ZOC, what I think to be the best terminal emulation program available for the Mac. The first thing to do is determine which device you want to connect to. This works well particularly if you have an RS-232 serial to USB converter.

There are a few software apps out there, but I find it much simpler to simply use the terminal application вЂњscreenвЂќ. If you develop on an Apple and find yourself doing any sort of device or embedded development, you will quickly find the need for a serial terminal on Mac.
