xTools is an open-source, cross-platform Qt-based debugging tool-set for serial port, HID, BLE, UDP, TCP, WebSocket, Modbus, CAN Bus, MQTT, CoAP and other communication protocols. It is extensible with Lua and JavaScript scripts and includes chart views and data transmission features.

Use cases

debug serial port communication
test modbus devices
send and receive tcp udp packets
debug can bus traffic
test mqtt and coap messaging
automate protocol testing with lua or javascript scripts
plot incoming serial data on a chart

When to choose

you need a GUI tool to debug multiple communication protocols in one app
you work with embedded or IoT devices over serial, BLE, Modbus or CAN Bus
you want scriptable, cross-platform protocol testing on Windows, Linux, macOS or Android

When to avoid

you need a headless or CLI-only automation tool
you require a lightweight single-protocol utility rather than a full suite
you need a web-based or browser-accessible debugging interface
