I am trying to find a method to directly link a console to the RFlink, while it is connected to the Rasberry Pi.
The reason for this is when troubleshooting I do not need to unhook the RFlink and move it to the PC. And thus I can leave it in the utility closet
The obvious method is SSH into the RasPi, kill domoticz (to release the /dev/ttyACM0) and hook op a CLI terminal.
But I tried both minicom and cu, both connect, both show the RFlink output, but no working input.
When I type, I see the Mega's com led flash, but I get no responce.
When I press a 433MHz remote, its output is shown.
Code: Select all
Welcome to minicom 2.7
OPTIONS: I18n

# During the above, I typed several 10;PING<enter> commands (local echo off)
Also added LF (Ctrl-A Z A) and CR (Ctrl-A Z U)
I wonder if the reason is the minicom sends character based, not entire lines, but I am not sure.
Any helpfull suggestions on what to do in minicom, or what other SSH runnable terminal to use?
Thanks
