Fluidterm is a very simple serial terminal that makes it a little easier to interact with FluidNC during setup and configuring. It is not a gcode sender or meant to be a good interface to control the machine. It is included with the releases.
Fluidterm automatically puts FluidNC into character echo mode when started or resetting with CTRL+R. This is essential to use the advanced terminal mode of FluidNC.
If you restart the controller using a method other than sending CTRL+R, like the $Bye command, via a CPU reset button or after a crash, you will need to send a key to restart the echo. Otherwise you will not see the typed characters. The tab key works well for this.
When Fluidterm is closed the echo will turn off to return the feature to it's default state. You can also use CTRL+L to turn off the echo.
Send Ctrl+R to reset the ESP32 using the control lines of the serial port.
You can upload files to the local file system or the SD card.
Realtime characters that can be sent from the key board are...
! Cycle Stop~ Resume? StatusCTRL+X ResetThe ones that are non printable and not on a keyboard can be sent with the CTRL+O key then the following 2 characters codes.
