HypoTerminal is the simplest terminal software for communicating over a COM port.
HyperTerminal was sufficient for (most) users, but it is no longer included in Windows.
There are many other free terminal programs (TeraTerm, putty, etc.). They are good software, but a little difficult to set up for beginners.
HypoTerminal is useful for quick connections. Please use it freely.
This application was programmed with C# and SerialPort class.
