Accessing the Console Interface on Mac
Accessing the SLG-20 Console Interface on macOS
Required Software
To access the console interface we will be using the built in Terminal Application, and a terminal program called "Screen". Both these programs are preinstalled with MacOS so there is nothing to download or setup.
Instructions for Accessing the Console Interface
1. Setup
Power up the SLG-20 via the XT30 input and connect the USB to the computer
Set the switch on the SLG-20 Control Board must be set to “D” or “DBG”
Open the Terminal Application
2. Finding the correct serial port
Type the following command into the terminal:
You will see a list of serial ports. If you are unsure which one corresponds to the SLG-20 Control Board, try unplugging the SLG-20 Control board and running the command again. This should allow you to workout which serial port is correct.
3. Connecting to the Console Interface using Screen
Execute the following command, but replace the serial port name with the one you found above.
After executing this command, you should see a blank screen
Hit enter again and you should see the SLG shell prompt (If you see nothing after hitting enter, check that the switch on the board is in the "D" position)
