Description
Spider Serial Terminal is a straightforward serial port terminal for engineers. It allows you to connect to attached serial devices with a basic ASCII terminal - perfect for testing and debugging serial connections, and for controlling devices which implement a standard serial interface.

Version 1.6
Various minor bug fixes including:
Local Echo tool bar item now works as expected.
Backspace key now supported on smaller keyboards.
Ratings and Reviews
Works okay, but missing important features
Using this to interface with microcontrollers and ran into:
* Unable to set the line ending (should be able to configure to \r, \n or both)
* Re-scan for serial ports doesn't do anything
* Number of error bits cannot be set (or if fixed at 0 display this)
Rough around the edges
I was hoping this serial terminal program would do the trick for what I need, but unfortunately, it's not quite up to snuff. Some things I noticed immediately:
* The "Local Echo" checkbox doesn't work correctly. I can click it to enable/disable local echo, but the checkbox itself doesn't toggle.
* The Color setting is a bit erratic. If you start a session and it doesn't look like there's any text, click the Colors icon and make sure it's not set to white.
* Paste doesn't work as expected. Text is pasted into the window but isn't sent to the device
* A setting to control the behavior of the return key (CR, LF or CRLF) would be much appreciated.
Cisco/Arista/Juniper engineers, don’t waste your money!
The app does not allow you to copy-paste blocks of commands into the terminal window—a must have if you need to push a large configuration to the device.
