I have found that using an external application for handling the serial REPL better for the following reasons:
- Allows complete control over look and appearance
- Adds support for full-screen editing with the embedded editor
To Configure:
- Download and Install PuTTy from here https://www.putty.org/
- Configure the PuTTy session...
- Connection Type: Serial
- Window -> Appearance -> Anything you see fit to change
- Window -> Behaviour -> Uncheck "Warn before closing window"
- Window -> Colours -> Anything you see fit to change
- Connection -> Speed:115200, Data bits:8, Stop bits:1, Flow Control:None
- Save the session name as...
mpremoteeditor
- Make these changes to the MPRemoteEditor.exe.config
<add key="REPL" value="E" />
<add key="TerminalApp" value="putty" />
(to whatever command invokes PuTTy)
Now when you click on the REPL button it will invoke the PuTTY application.
