https://. Safari and Firefox do not support Web Serial, and the API
requires a secure context.
Why in the browser?
The Web Serial API gives the page direct access to a serial port. No driver install (beyond the OS USB-CDC driver), no native app — useful for quick hardware bring-up and field debugging. Same idea as NinjaTerm's serial connection type, rebuilt as a zero-install web tool.
Line settings
Baud rate, data bits, parity and stop bits are configurable before connecting. 115200 8N1 is the common firmware default; the port is opened with flow control disabled.
ASCII & hex
Toggle the RX view between decoded UTF-8 and hex byte dump. Transmit either plain text (optionally with a trailing LF) or raw hex pairs, chunked for the underlying transport.
Accessibility
Keyboard-first: Tab through controls, Enter sends, visible focus rings, and reduced-motion is respected via the XCOM token layer. The console is an ARIA live region.
