About UsbTerminal APK
Table Of Contents
Description
UsbTerminal is a terminal emulator (sometimes called "monitor"). It is intended to be used with a physical connection to the devicevia the phone or tablet’s USB port.
The phone or tablet must support USB-Host Mode a.k.a USB On-The-Go (USB-OTG),
and a USB-OTG cable is required.
Typical use-cases for this app are:
● Controlling an IoT device like an Arduino, ESP32, etc
● Controlling a communication device such as a router that has a serial console connector (this may require a USB to RS232 converter cable)
UsbTerminal is open-source. See https://github.com/liorhass/UsbTerminal
Features:
● Support devices with the following USB to Serial protocols/chips: CDC-ACM (e.g. Arduino Uno R3), FTDI (FT232R, FT232H, FT2232H, FT4232H,
FT230X, FT231X, FT234XD), Prolific PL2303, CH34x, Silabs CP210x (e.g. ESP32 dev boards from Espressif)
● Support two keyboard input modes:
1. Auto - Like on a “real” terminal, there is no dedicated input field. Characters are sent to the serial device immediately as keys are clicked on the keyboard. This is the default mode.
2. Dedicated input field - Keyboard input goes to a dedicated input field and is sent to the device only after a “Send” button is pressed.
● Partial support of ANSI/VT100 escape sequences including text coloring
● Two display modes: Text and Hex
● Background communication - the app can maintain connection and
continue receiving data even when it is in the background
● Log sessions to files. These log files can then be viewed or shared in
order to be analyzed with external tools
● Sending control character (e.g. Ctrl-C)
● Controlling of DTR and CTS
● Large scroll-back buffer
● Blinking cursor
● Status line indicating connection state, error messages, screen size,
cursor location and display mode
● Built-in help
● Built-in shortcuts to reset an Arduino and ESP32 dev boards
● No root required
● No special permissions required
A note to Arduino users:
One advantage of UsbTerminal is the way it handles DTR. Typically when an Arduino board is connected to a PC, it will reboot every time a terminal emulator application is connected to it. This is because the PC drops the DTR signal low whenever a connection is formed, and Arduino is designed to reset when DTR line is dropped low. UsbTerminal on the other hand, doesn’t automatically set or reset the DTR signal. When you connect a phone or tablet to an Arduino and open UsbTerminal, your Arduino continues whatever it was doing at the time. If you want it to reboot, you can easily control the DTR signal from UsbTerminal with a dedicated button.

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
