SerialThing: Serial Terminal And Control Thing

Serial Thing is a serial terminal written with Hollywood 8.0 It makes use of the new serial library feature introduced in 8.0, and the RapaGUI plugin, to provide a native GUI on any platform.

It started as an exercise to learn the Hollywood programming language and to have a terminal program with the features I needed most to interact with microcontrollers like the Arduino and Esp32/Esp8266, various serial LCD displays, voice command modules, etc. While I was at it I tried to make it as useful to others as possible.

To compile for other platforms:

Would this enable systems like the Vampire Standalone to use usb to serial devices?
TVPaint with pressure sensitivity only works with specific serial tablets, for instance. It'd be nice to have a serial to usb adapter work with the Vampire or even Amibian etc.
