STLINK-V3MODS - STM32 Microcontroller Debugger/Programmer - STMicroelectronics

to export the current session's incoming and outgoing data to a Capture HEX/Text

The UI is functional but dated. It typically features:

| Tool | Strengths vs SSCOM32 | Weaknesses vs SSCOM32 | |------|----------------------|------------------------| | | Scripting (TTL), SSH, IPv6, Unicode | Larger, slower startup | | PuTTY | Cross-platform, SSH, raw TCP | Awkward hex send/receive | | Realterm | Advanced debugging (break/parity errors, signal monitoring) | Complex UI, buggy on Windows 10+ | | Hterm (macOS/Linux) | Modern UI, built-in hex editor, Rust-based | Not native on Windows | | CoolTerm | Cross-platform, simple, reliable | No file transfer protocols | | Arduino IDE Serial Monitor | Integrated with Arduino ecosystem | Very basic, no hex or file send |

SSCOM 32 is not perfect. You will notice:

SSCom 32 is a classic, essential tool for any hardware professional. Its stability, lightweight nature, and comprehensive support for both Text and Hex communication make it a reliable companion for debugging serial devices. Whether you are a beginner learning UART or an expert debugging RS485 systems, keeping a copy of sscom32.exe handy is highly recommended. If you'd like, I can: Recommend alternatives to SSCom 32. Explain how to create a serial debugging tool in Python.

is a widely used serial port debugging tool, often used for communication with microcontrollers and other serial devices. Version 3.2 (SSCOM32) is a popular, lightweight choice for these tasks. Key Features of SSCOM 3.2 Support for Multiple Baud Rates

Being a small executable, it does not require a complex installation process.

Data sent and received can be logged automatically, which is vital for long-term testing or capturing data from sensors for further analysis.
