Best Software for 2025 is now live!

I am wondering about using putty for a few purposes, can you help?

I am interested in testing a TS7200 it has a RS232 plug and two USB plugs on it. I would like to initially test that the unit is working is it possible to do this with Putty using one of the USB ports? When I look at the adverts for putty I am wondering if it might work for a ESP-32 CAM that I have, the unit is similar to an arduino and when running as it is now it sends a video signal via wifi to my server. I can see it if I type 192.168.0.26 into my browser but I can't find any way of using it for instance to send it to a web site I am writing. Would putty be able to pick it off the server and act as streaming software to allow me to do this? Thanks, Bob

PuTTY is primarily designed as an SSH client and terminal emulator, so it may not be the ideal tool for your specific requirements with the TS7200 and ESP-32 CAM. Let's look at each scenario individually: Testing TS7200 with PuTTY and USB port: PuTTY does not directly support USB connections or provide features for USB communication. It is mainly used for SSH, Telnet, and serial connections. Therefore, you would need to use the RS232 plug on the TS7200 and configure PuTTY to establish a serial connection to test the unit. Using PuTTY with ESP-32 CAM for streaming: PuTTY is not designed to act as streaming software or pick up video signals from devices like the ESP-32 CAM. PuTTY's primary function is to establish terminal connections to remote systems. To stream video from the ESP-32 CAM to a web server or website, you would typically need to develop custom software or use existing frameworks specifically designed for video streaming. You may want to explore options like using a dedicated streaming library or web server frameworks that support video streaming, such as Node.js with frameworks like Express.js. Additionally, you can use PuTTY to establish an SSH connection to your server, but it won't directly facilitate streaming the video from the ESP-32 CAM. PuTTY can be useful for accessing and managing your server via command-line interface (CLI), executing commands remotely, or configuring server settings. In summary, PuTTY is not the most suitable tool for the tasks you mentioned. Consider exploring other software tools and frameworks that are specifically designed for serial communication or video streaming, depending on your specific requirements and hardware capabilities.
