ttypal-ai 0.4.2

Serial port debug tool for humans and AI agents

ttypal

Serial port debug tool designed for both humans and AI agents.

Features

• Interactive terminal (like minicom, but better)
• Auto-logging with timestamps and rotation
• External command injection via Unix socket (for AI/scripts)
• ZMODEM file transfer over serial
• Record/replay serial sessions
• Macro recording and playback (F1-F12 hotkeys)
• Board config management
• Claude Code skill for AI-driven serial debugging

Install

pip install ttypal-ai

Platform-specific setup:

• Linux — 原生支持，需配置串口权限
• macOS — 原生支持，即插即用（未测试）
• Windows — 通过 WSL2 + usbipd-win 运行（未测试）

Quick Start

# Interactive mode
ttypal

# Headless daemon (for AI automation)
ttypal-daemon start -b myboard

# Send commands from another process
ttypal-send --wait "# " "uname -a"

# Read recent serial output
ttypal-tail -n 50

Macros

Bind command sequences to F1-F12 keys in your board config:

[macro]
F1 = ["echo hello", "sleep 0.5", "ls -la"]
F2 = ["reboot"]

Or record interactively: Ctrl-T r to start, Ctrl-T s to stop and save.

Claude Code Integration

Clone this repo and open it with Claude Code — the /ttypal skill loads automatically from .claude/skills/.

cd /path/to/ttypal-ai
claude
# Then use /ttypal skill or just ask AI to operate the serial port
