Example Basic

Example: Basic

Goal: See a welcome message, a framed box, and activate a button.

Setup

1. Board with USB serial.
2. Upload BasicExample.
3. Open a terminal at 9600 baud (terminal guide).

What you should see

• Yellow: Welcome to ANSITerm!
• A white box with a short green caption inside
• A cyan Click Me! button
• A hint line: activate with mouse, Enter, or Space

How to interact

Action	Result
Press Enter or Space	Screen clears; shows Button clicked!
Mouse click on the button (if supported)	Same

Tips

• If boxes look like garbage characters, enable UTF-8 in the terminal.
• If nothing happens when you click, use Enter/Space — many serial terminals do not send mouse events.
• Unplug/replug USB on some boards redraws the main screen automatically.

When to move on

Once this works, open Buttons to learn keyboard navigation between controls.
