This is the homepage of jpnevulator. What once started as a Jackpot Navigator emulator (hence the strange name) is now a nice serial sniffer and you can use it to send data on a serial line too. It's sort of like a very simple terminal emulator, like picocom. But jpnevulator uses hexadecimal byte values to display and send along the line. Very handy indeed if you are working a lot with serial protocols.
jpnevulator is released as Free Software under the GPL license. See the file COPYING in the source tarball for more information.
If you have a question, please first read the FAQ. It's kind of a pathetic FAQ file for now, but I bet your question is in it!
| 22/01/2012 | - | A new release! Just to please Debian, I've released a new version of the software with all the Debian build warnings and errors fixed. So nothing exciting really, the software is still considered finished by me. Especially now since I've added a silly FAQ with only one question answered. But it's the only question I've received over the years and I've received it several times. So again, if you feel different about this software being finished or not, please let me know. And otherwise have fun using it. Is anybody still using serial connections anyway? :) |
Below is an example of the output one can see when reading from two serial devices at the same time:
$ jpnevulator --ascii --timing-print --tty /dev/ttyS0:SB9600d --tty "/dev/ttyUSB0:Motorola MTM800" --read 2006-05-30 13:23:49.461075: SB9600d 00 00 05 3B 0D 00 00 05 ...;.... 2006-05-30 13:23:49.461113: Motorola MTM800 00 05 3B 0D 00 00 05 3B 0D ..;....;. 2006-05-30 13:23:49.473074: SB9600d 3B 0D 00 00 05 3B 0D ;....;. 2006-05-30 13:23:49.473105: Motorola MTM800 00 12 05 06 39 00 12 05 06 39 1F 00 22 80 00 0E ....9....9.."... $
