Python Serial Terminal
This is a simple serial terminal program.
Features
- Generates a CSV file from the serial data. Serial data from the device must be formatted with commas between fields. The first row, after parsed, is taken to be the column length which all succeeding rows should equal.
- Add line numbers to the screen and CSV output.
- Set baud rate.
- Set serial device.
- Set output stream, default is current display terminal, but could be a file.
- Terminate the program with a Control-c (^c).

Installation
Just put the file anyplace you would want to execute it. A good idea is to create a /home/{username}/bin directory. Most Linux systems will automatically add a $HOME/bin to you execution path. After sterm.py is where you want it you will want to make the script executable as shown below.
$ chmod 755 sterm.py

rates.
-c CSVFILE, --csv CSVFILE

Baud Rate List
$ ./sterm.py -l 1 4800 2 9600 3 19200 4 38400 5 57600 6 115200 7 230400 8 250000
Examples
./sterm.py -d /dev/ttyACM0 -b 6 -n -c filename.csv
Uses port /dev/ttyACM0 on Linux, set to 115200 baud, creates line numbers, and creates a CSV file of the data.
./sterm.py -d /dev/ttyACM0 -s display.out
Uses port /dev/ttyACM0 on Linux, set to 9600 baud (default), and sends the display data to a file.
./sterm.py -Dd /dev/ttyACM0
Uses port /dev/ttyACM0 on Linux, set to 9600 baud (default), and debug is turned on.
