Start with a board, not a configuration maze.
Discover serial ports automatically or enter a path manually, then keep multiple devices open in tabs or side-by-side views.

Give every device a clearer signal.
BaudTide is AspidIoT's open-source Linux serial monitor for ESP32, Arduino, and USB/TTY devices—built to make embedded development calmer, more observable, and easier to share.

Tauri + ReactRust-backed workspace
Open-source ambition
Tools for the bench should belong to the community using them.
BaudTide is our contribution to the greater IoT community: a public, inspectable workspace for the everyday work between a board, a serial line, and the engineer trying to understand what just happened.
01Build in public
Let the roadmap, issues, and implementation stay visible to the people building with connected hardware.
02Keep the signal local
Capture raw device output on the machine where the work is happening, with exports when the team needs them.
03Make contribution easier
Give embedded developers a focused starting point for testing, observing, and extending the serial workflow.
What ships inside
One workspace for the whole serial loop.
From the first port discovery to the final exported log, BaudTide keeps embedded debugging readable and close to the device.
Read telemetry without leaving the terminal.
Detect structured values from live output, visualize the fields that matter, and send text or raw hexadecimal with per-device line endings.
Live parsing / selected fields / text + hex
Keep the raw signal, even when the screen gets noisy.
Pause or filter the display while capture continues, then browse, search, preview, export, or delete local logs and saved layouts.
Non-destructive capture / local logs / saved workspaces
Share the useful view, not the whole bench.
Open a focused, read-only mobile view over the local network, with QR links and explicit opt-in before any remote control is exposed.
Local network / read-only by default / opt-in control
Product proof / interface tour
See the workspace before you wire in.
These screens are captured from BaudTide's own interface preview, so the promise stays tied to the product people can actually open, inspect, and extend.
02 / LIVE TERMINAL
Independent terminals for every device.
Reconnect, pause, clear, and filter per session while the rest of the bench stays in view.

03 / MOBILE SHARE
Give the team a window into the signal.
Share a focused, read-only view with a phone on the local network without handing over the desktop workspace.
04 / VISUALIZE
Turn repeatable bytes into a visible signal.
Inspect numeric telemetry beside the terminal so changing device values are easier to understand in context.
Built for the real bench
Small enough to stay out of the way. Thoughtful enough to earn a place in the loop.
BaudTide pairs a Tauri v2 desktop shell with a React + TypeScript interface and Rust-backed Linux serial access—so the UI stays calm while the device work stays real.

Use it, test it, shape what comes next.
The repository is the front door: read the code, try the workflow, report what your hardware needs, and help make IoT tooling more open by default.
