Tauno Monitor

The goal is to make a stand-alone simple serial port monitor for the GNOME desktop.

It aims to be beginner-friendly, small and easy to use. Not feature-rich and professional.

Features:

• Remembers the last used settings (Theme, Baud Rate, Port etc.).
• Auto reconnects to the serial port when the connection is lost.
• Can log data to a file.
