This page is designed to help with issues when the Smart Terminal seems not to be running or running properly.
Contents
Overview
Missing Modules
Symptoms
Python complains about modules not found.
Fix
Runs, Nothing Happens
Symptoms
Ran the program from command line or console and after starting we see something like "running mainloop", but nothing else happens.
Fix
Look around your computer's windows, the SmartTerminal may open in the background. It would be good to fix this in the app, there is a patch now, but may not always work.
Terminal Starts, Arduino Does not Respond
Symptoms
You send out data, but get nothing back, you have your reasons to believe that the arduino is working OK. Or you are getting data back but it is gibberish.
Fix
The terminal lets you send data to nowhere, if the port is not open, so make sure it is open ( look at the status display, use the open button ). If the port is open it may still be running at the wrong baud rate. Check the status display for the baud rate and use the parameter file ( you can access from the parameter button ) and set to the desired baud rate. There are also other comm settings, if you are still having trouble check them all.
