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.
| 25/04/2009 | - | A new totally unexpected release :) Something happened, something happened, spread the news! A new release is out there! After almost three years of nothing, here is a small time new release of the software. Last week I received an email from Ardor with a great idea to improve the software. So here it is. Version 1.3.0 is now able to pass on the data in between the several serial devices. Shame on me that I myself never thought of a usage like this, but fortunately Ardor did, so here you have it! Have fun with it! |
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.."... $
