About CoolTerm

CoolTerm 1.8.0.861 was developed as a useful and user-friendly software and acts as a serial port terminal application. CoolTerm is a tool that's geared towards hobbyists and professionals with a need to exchange data with hardware connected to serial ports such as servo controllers, robotic kits, GPS receivers, microcontrollers etc. This download is licensed as freeware for the Windows (32-bit and 64-bit) operating system/platform without restrictions. CoolTerm is available to all software users as a free download for Windows.

Is CoolTerm safe to download?

A bare-bones version of CoolTerm released as an opensource project. Written in Xojo. Source Code: v1.0.0 7/13/2020: A previous version of VisualTimer released as an opensource project. Written in Xojo. Complex Utilities. Source Code: v1.0 7/9/2006. CoolTerm is a great tool to have around if you need to control hardware devices, such as robotic kits, micro controllers, servo controllers, and so on. The application can connect to various ports, enables you to send text commands, and then displays the data received from the hardware device in HEX or ASCII mode.

We tested the file CoolTermWin.zip with 24 antivirus programs and it turned out 100% clean. It's good practice to test any downloads from the Internet with trustworthy antivirus software.

CoolTerm is a serial port terminal application for those the need to exchange data with hardware connected to serial ports such as servo controllers, robotic kits, GPS receivers, microcontrollers, etc. CoolTerm is portable and includes a built-in help file. We found it surprisingly easy to use. CoolTerm – a software to exchange data with devices connected to the serial ports. The software uses a terminal to send messages to the devices such as GPS receivers, servo controllers or robotic kits that are connected to the computer via serial ports, and then sends a response to the user request.

Does CoolTerm work on my version of Windows?

Older versions of Windows often have trouble running modern software and thus CoolTerm may run into errors if you're running something like Windows XP. Conversely, much older software that hasn't been updated in years may run into errors while running on newer operating systems like Windows 10. You can always try running older programs in compatibility mode.

Officially supported operating systems include 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7 and Windows XP.

What versions of CoolTerm are available?

The current version of CoolTerm is 1.8.0.861 and is the latest version since we last checked. This is the full offline installer setup file for PC. This site has hosted other versions of it in the past such as 1.7.0.825, 1.6.0.708, 1.5.0.572, 1.4.7.427 and 1.4.6.322. At the moment, only the latest version is available.

About Me

My name is Roger Meier, and I am NOT a professional programmer. Writing my own programs is a hobby that I picked up when I couldn't find any decent (if at all) freeware or shareware for certain tasks for which I wanted to use a computer.
I picked Xojo (formerly REALBasic) as my language of choice for several reaons, including its structure, its 'object-orientness', its capability to create executables for Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux Platforms, and last but not least for its fairly large and helpful user community.
Here I'm hosting open-source code that may be generally useful. Current open-source projects are listed in the table below. Simply click a project name to download the project archive.
DISCLAIMER: ALL SOURCE CODE IS PUBLIC DOMAIN, AND PROVIDED 'AS IS' WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY.
I have also created a number of small Freeware Applications and Tools that you might be interested in.

A handy wrapper for the Windows Serial Port API, originally posted at dev.emcelettronica.com/serial-port-communication-excel-vba which makes serial port communication via VBA without using MSComm really easy. Unfortunately, the original post seems to no longer exist, so I'm reposting the source code packed into a VBA module in an Excel file.
