Holy crap, this is insane. Just install PuTTY. Minicom is great if you’re on a Linux box but making all these gyrations to get a less capable terminal on Win10 isn’t worth it.

PuTTY: https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/

The blog post is being specific, but to be clear, there was zero effort here for me. I have WSL already. I apt install minicom, and I was done.

This writeup is for someone without WSL.

apt install python3-serial python -m miniterm COM11 115200
