SimpleLink™︎ Sub-1 GHz Wireless Microcontroller - Side Note: Recognise your PuTTY Sessions

Jan Cumps

I have been blogging on how to make the two seemingly identical LaunchPads distinct, and how to configure Code Composer Studio to recognise them.

 

 

 

We still have one weak point: PuTTY.

In its standard setup, both the TX and RX terminal session look very similar. The only visual clue we have is the port number in the title.

 

 

Visual Clues to show if PuTTY Connects to TX or RX

 

I've configured my PuTTY sessions in a way that its more obvious. The TX one has a red background, the RX one  is purple.

I've also marked the label on my launchpads with the same colour.

 

 

The window title is also adapted. It shows TX and RX.

 

Configuring PuTTY

 

Open your TX puTTY configuration.

 

Set the Window Title CC1310 TX

 

 

Select a distinct colour. My advice is to use one where you have a matching colour crayon for, so you can also colour the LaunchPad's label .

 

 

Navigate back to Session and Save.

 

Now load the RX configuration. Choose a different colour and make the title 1310 RX

Save the session. All Done.

Never ever will you have to guess what terminal talks to RX or TX.
