• Does Windows 7 Have Hyperterminal
• Serial Port Terminal Emulator

So it's not a typical terminal emulator, but that's not the point. I'm using it with the MicroView, a very small Arduino with a built in display. With a $10 Bluetooth serial connector I've got easy wireless communication to it from my PC.

If you are performing these tasks on either Windows or Linux then you will requires some program that can communicate with your hardware and system. In the old days, Windows used to be provided Hyper terminal but now from Windows Vista they don’t provide such a tool, could not understand the reason though. 🙂 How ever you can still use Hyper terminal in Windows 7 as well as you can use other freely available serial communication utilities like Putty. Putty is a great and free tool and available for both Windows and Linux platforms. Before I start please note that: • If your system does not have any serial port, you can still use a USB-to-Serial adapter When you buy a USB-to-Serial port adapter you will get a driver for it as well.

This driver makes a virtual serial port in your system. • In Windows, serial port named as COM port. • If you want to use Hyper terminal than you have to download. • If you want to use Putty than download this file from. Now you have to follow below steps to communicate with your device: Step – 1: Connect your device with your system through RS-232 cable or USB-to-Serial adapter and check whether it’s connected successfully or not. (see step 2) Step – 2: Open device manager and check for COM ports, it get assigned a COM port or not.
