SSCOM 3.2 is a "Serial Software COM" utility. Unlike complex terminal emulators, SSCOM focuses on simplicity and speed. It allows users to send and receive data in both and HEX formats, making it indispensable for low-level protocol testing and hardware verification. Core Features sscom 3.2
| Problem | Likely Cause | Solution | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | "Port open failed" | Port in use or driver issue | Close Arduino IDE/Cura. Reinstall CH340/FTDI driver. | | Garbage characters in window | Baud rate mismatch or incorrect data bits | Double-check device datasheet. Try 9600/8/N/1 then 115200. | | No data received | Wrong TX/RX wiring | Swap TX and RX lines on your adapter. Ensure common ground. | | SSCOM freezes on send | Flow control enabled accidentally | Set Flow Control to "None". | | Unable to send large files | Buffer overrun | Reduce "Send Interval (ms)" to 10-20ms or use hardware flow control. | | Feature | SSCom 3
