A serial comms command line utility that is primarily intended for customized command and control of a device via a serial port. Originally written to do 'calibration' commands for an Arduino-based device, hence the name 'sftardcal'. Targeted for POSIX (Linux, BSD) systems and MS Windows (command line only).

sftardcal

This is a serial port utility designed for POSIX systems and Windows, that was specifically intended to make command/control and general serial port stuff much easier than it could have been

Additionally it can perform basic xmodem transfers as well as initializing the arduino interface via the 'RTS' line.

In many ways it's also a good example of the kinds of things you need to do in order to write a serial port client application, either in Linux (or BSD), or in windows.
