Description
Add port and baud rate settings for the Debug Terminal.
The port to which the terminal is attached, and its baud rate, should be indicated somewhere near the terminal itself. The values are adjustable by the user at any time.
More information may be read in the Settings section of the Debug Terminal document.
Here's additional discussion:
What exactly is baud and port being set for? This is an optional thing, normally it's set by the app when it downloads to the module, but occasionally the user needs to manually set up the terminal to run at a different speed or on a different port to receive communication from the user's microcontroller application. This is often when there is no DEBUG command in the PBASIC code, for example, but rather a SEROUT command instead.
Why does this need to change? Under what circumstances will this need to change? Answered above. The app should override it if it needs a terminal after downloading a program with a DEBUG statement. Otherwise, it should leave it available to the user to change.
Where in the application is this occurring? How does it relate to the workflow? At any time. If the Debug Terminal is not currently visible, the user will need a way to make it visible and to also be able to configure these items independent of coding or downloading. We can discuss more and I can demonstrate. I think one of the videos in issues shows this a little bit.
