Linux Pro Tip Thread

Yeah i just wiki’d it (in truth, it’s been a while, and my primary use for screen is on macOS to use as a serial terminal application these days). Will check it out. :slight_smile:

For those who don’t know and are on macOS or linux or any *nix where you need a serial terminal app, you can use screen like:

screen /dev/tty.AirConsole-BE-raw-serial

… to a bluetooth connected AirConsole (macOS).

As an aside, airconsole is an awesome product that everybody who deals with serial should check out if you don’t own one. no more shitty USB RS232 adapters! No more balancing your laptop on stuff whilst working in a datacenter or plugged into a workgroup switch out in the field! Can even do serial from your iPad or iphone in a pinch (or Android i believe). Doubles as a power bank or battery powered WIFI access point!

Amazing product…

I’ve always used icanhazip.com. Cat memes serve as a good mneumonic to remembering it.
