wincom

Wincom is a lightweight command-line utility developed by Moggla that enables direct serial-port interaction from any Windows terminal, positioning itself in the System Utilities / Serial Communication category. Released in a single version 0.0.1, the program exposes a minimalist syntax for opening COM ports, setting baud rate, data bits, parity, stop bits and flow control, then immediately forwarding typed or piped data to the attached device and echoing incoming traffic back to the console. Typical use cases include quick diagnostics of embedded boards, firmware upload handshaking, Arduino or Raspberry Pi UART debugging, GPS module monitoring, barcode-scraper testing, PLC register polling and any other scenario where an easily scriptable, low-overhead serial bridge is preferable to heavy GUI terminals. Because the executable runs without installation and depends only on built-in Windows drivers, it integrates cleanly into batch files, PowerShell automation, CI pipelines or VS Code tasks, letting engineers log output to text files or filter it with command-line tools such as grep, findstr or sed. The 0.0.1 codebase is intentionally compact, consuming negligible RAM and leaving no background services, so it can coexist with IDEs, logic analyzers or USB-to-serial adapters without contention. Although still at its initial public release, the utility already supports simultaneous monitoring of multiple ports by launching separate instances, and its open-source nature invites community contributions for future enhancements like scripting macros or colored hex views. Wincom is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
