How to build

Use SimpleCom.sln on your Visual Studio.
I confirmed x64 build on VS 2019.

How to use on Windows Terminal

You can use fragments.json to add SimpleCom to your Windows Terminal.
For example, run following commands to add SimpleCom for all users.

PS > mkdir "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Terminal\Fragments\SimpleCom"
PS > cp C:\Path\To\fragment.json "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Terminal\Fragments\SimpleCom"

Please see Applications installed from the web in Microsoft Docs.

Notes

• SimpleCom sends / receives VT100 escape sequences. So the serial device to connect via SimpleCom needs to support VT100 or compatible shell.
• SimpleCom supports ANSI chars only, so it would not work if multibyte chars (e.g. CJK chars) are given.
