"Serial WiFi Terminal" is not your average WiFi terminal app! It goes beyond usual SSH and Telnet, handling raw sockets like a pro, especially friendly for ESP8266 devices. This software is super smooth on ESP8266, with specific firmware like Arduino and GitHub. It's not exactly a full-blown Linux terminal emulator, but for connecting WiFi gadgets, it's as handy as a pocket on a shirt! Plus, all features are free, the only paid option being a 'donate' button. Great pick for value hunters!
Hey there! 😊 So, there's this cool app called 'Serial WiFi Terminal' that's pretty nifty if you're dealing with devices hooked up over WiFi. Instead of just sticking with your basic ssh and telnet stuff, it goes the extra mile with raw-sockets, which is perfect for gadgets like the ESP8266 when you've got it set up as a WiFi to Serial bridge. 🚀
Here’s the deal with the protocols it supports:
- SSH
- Telnet
- Raw sockets (yup, you heard that right!)
If you're diving into raw sockets, there's some good news! They've tested a few ESP8266 'WiFi to Serial' firmwares that seem to play nice:
- Arduino -> Examples -> Esp8266WiFi -> TelnetToSerial
- GitHub -> jeelabs/esp-link
Need something for your Linux terminal? This app's got your back there too, even though it's not the full terminal emulation package. It's line-oriented, so it only jives with some escape sequences. But hey, it does the job for the most part! 🖥️
Oh, and by the way, all the dope features in this app are totally free. The only reason you're seeing an in-app purchase is for the 'Donate' button. So, no worries about hidden costs! 💸
