MicroPython Terminal tool

The MicroPython Terminal tool allows you to communicate with the MicroPython stack of your radio module through the serial interface.

Note Make sure your radio module supports MicroPython and is configured in that mode.

To open the MicroPython Terminal tool, select MicroPython Terminal from the Tools drop-down menu on the main XCTU toolbar.

MicroPython Terminal dialog

The workflow and components of the MicroPython Terminal tool are similar to those of the Serial console one. Because the MicroPython Terminal is not associated with a radio module, you must configure the serial port the console will open a connection with. For more information, see Configure the serial port settings - MicroPython Terminal tool.

Open a terminal session

By default, the first time you open the terminal it is disconnected, as is indicated by the gray background of the toolbar.

	Click the Open button to establish communication with the radio module corresponding to the terminal. If it is the first time you are connecting the console, you are prompted to configure the serial connection. The background color of the Open button changes to green and its text changes to Close. When the terminal is connected, all data traffic of the radio module is captured by the console and displayed in the corresponding controls.
	Click the Close button to disconnect the terminal from the module.
