We hope you're all having a fantastic time with your Arduino creations! Here at Arduino, we're always looking for ways to make our products and services better and more user-friendly.
As part of this goal, we're aiming to build a network of users who are enthusiastic about helping shape the future of Arduino. To find those who might be interested in taking part in future activities like walkthroughs, interviews, and prototype testing of our digital products (at a maximum frequency of once every quarter), we've prepared a screening survey.

Thank you for your interest, and we hope to see your contribution soon.
If you can give Serial Monitor a Text Terminal (ANSI screen and keys) mode with
-- every key struck is sent immediately
-- the terminal interprets some non-printable chars as cursor controls
....... this allows data entry and display screens where the labels go up and stay with the fields may change to follow action or while editing. Data entry screens are still used.
-- if colors and custom fonts make it, with a library, playable games might erupt.
Like your offer but not sure I can make it worth your investment.
I have already used terminal apps in Windoze and Linux to get full VT-100 capability and run examples but it's not a switch in the IDE easy. AVR's can slew text on-screen faster than eyes can follow, it becomes a giant LCD.
Monitor sensor data that doesn't scroll up the screen, for a change?
What would it take to get key press entry instead of line entry Monitor?
What would it take to get cursor keys?
These are required for key-interactive user-terminal IO. It is time saving and easier on secretaries and other data-oriented workers and when you use Arduino you get a keyboard of debounced buttons and with color and user fonts, graphics and lights at no extra cost to learn more code with.
How much would an 80x25 LCD cost? A Linux terminal on a TV screen lets me do full page greenbar 132x66. Put that on a 60" flat panel in an op center, it could be read across the room.
I can already do this, have done on WinXP using hyperterminal and PuTTy on Linux, it takes doing steps that beginners don't want to take getting com channel identified, links made as easy as Serial Monitor. Could like the editor have user choice... I dunno, assigning serial on different OS's that I assume that changes to Serial Monitor would be easier but past key-entry and cursor control it's sauce and toppings on the base bread.
Hello @GoForSmoke,
Your suggestions about the Serial Monitor are indeed intriguing. However, this thread is mainly focused on inviting participants for our user testing network. While we value your input, the detailed solution implementation you're suggesting might be more suitable for a different discussion.
We'd still encourage you to join our testing network by signing up through the link we provided earlier. Your participation could provide important insights.
