A versatile test tool running on Windows/Linux/Android.
Works as data transceiver/realtime plotter/shortcut/file transceiver.
Supports serial port, Bluetooth SPP client/server, Bluetooth LE client, TCP client/server, UDP.
Cross-platform
- Runs on Windows/Linux/Android
- Maybe supports MacOS?
Serial port debugger
- Show all available serial ports with parameters. No need to check Device Manager or dmesg
- Set baud rate, data bits, stop bits, parity scheme, flow control and change them on the fly
- Modify DTR/RTS signals, Show CTS, DSR, DCD, RI(RNG)signals
- Save the parameters of the last connection
- Save connection parameters by port name or device ID then reuse them quickly
- (Serial port is not supported on Android now)
Bluetooth SPP debugger
- Supports commonly used Bluetooth modules(HC-05, HC-06, JDY-34, ...)
- Supports communication between PC and smartphone
- Supports client mode and server mode
- The server can be connected by multiple devices. You can enable/disable the Tx/Rx function of them.
- Supports multiple local Bluetooth adapters (Experimental)
Bluetooth LE debugger
- Show all services(primary and included services), characteristics and descriptors of connected device
- Specify different service for Rx/Tx
TCP
- Supports IPv4/IPv6
- Client:Supports spceifying local address and port
- Client:The remote address can be a IP address or a website
- Client:Supports storing connection parameters with user specified name then reuse them quickly
- Server:Supports listening on all NICs or specified NIC
- Server:The server can be connected by multiple devices. You can enable/disable the Tx/Rx function of them.
UDP
- Supports IPv4/IPv6
- Supports listening on all NICs or specified NIC
- Supports storing connection parameters with user specified name then reuse them quickly
- Change remote address and port on the fly
High performance
- Fast response:UI update is separated from Data reception. Disable "Realtime" option in "data" tab for higher speed
- Fast response:Time-consuming works run in dedicated threads
- Low memory cost:Received bytes to memory consumption is about 1:1, if the plot and "Realtime" option are disabled.
Data panel
- Show data in hexadecimal
- Export raw data or selected text
- Add suffix behind each sending(\r, \r\n, string, hex data)
- Repeat
- Rich encoding support
(UTF8/16/32, GB2312/GB18030, BIG5, KOI8-R, Shift_JIS, EUC-KR, ...... ) - Unescape user input
(\r, \n, \t, \0, \123, \xFF, \uABCD, ...) - Enable/disable echo
- Show sended/received data only
Realtime plotter
- Human-readable data format
- Drag or scroll the canvas by mouse
- Drag or scroll the canvas on touchscreen
- Showing the latest data or holding on
- Show up to 99 graphs
- Multiple X-axis mode
- Legends with customizable name and color
- Show/hide graphs
- Clear the canvas by specified data or "Clear" button
- Demos of STM32/Arduino/STM8
Controll(shortcut) panel
- Send spedified data by one click
- Send a number quickly by slider
- Send data in hexadecimal
- Unescaping support
- Add prefix/suffix
- Import/Export the whole panel
File transceiver
- Calculate CRC32 checksum quickly
- Send with throttle
- Stop receiving after specified number of bytes
- CRC32 and file IO are handled in separated threads for better performance
Handy UI
- Show multiple panels with your preferred layout on a single window
- Show panel as separated windows
- PC: Stays on top
- PC: Opacity
- PC: Start multiple instances with different modes, which are shown on the title bar
- Check connection parameters and disconnect/reconnect on status bar
- Customize font
- Select language
- Change theme(dark theme)
Portable
- The app generates one single config file only
- Never touchs Windows Registry
- Use config file in current working directory or system default config directory
- Export/Import/Clear config
- Clear history
- Set maximum history count
Supports Android
- Small screen support: Force landscape mode
- Small screen support: Show sended/received data only
- Small screen support: Full screen mode
- Drag/Scale gesture support on Plotter
- Share text to SerialTest then send it

You can write programs on MCU according to the demos in the demo/ folder
Demo README
You can download pre-built binaries and Android APK in release page.
You can also download them in SourceForge
The Android app is available on F-Droid as well.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install qt5-default libqt5serialport5 libqt5serialport5-dev qtconnectivity5-dev
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/wh201906/SerialTest.git --depth=1
cd SerialTest
mkdir build && cd build
You need to download QCustomPlot archive, extract the qcustomplot.cpp and qcustomplot.h in the /src folder(replace the existing qcustomplot.h), then build.
If the qcustomplot.cpp doesn't exist in the src/ folder, the qmake will try to find the library file(xxx.so/xxx.dll) in the building directory(where you call the qmake command) and the default library directory.
qmake ../src
make -j4 && make clean
