You may also need to customize the screen command with a different device name if you are using something other than the Keyspan Serial Adapter (do an ls tty* of the /dev/ directory to get the right name). You may want to customize this slightly - you can change the screen colors or number of columns or rows. Set custom title of window 1 to "SerialOut"Ĭompile and save as an app from within Script Editor, and you have a double-clickable application to launch a serial Terminal session.
