Just wondering what I am doing wrong? I want to use cat, but I want to append a NUL character to what I type? I tried typing: echo -e -n '\000' | cat > /dev/cu.usbserial -FTKVMAFF What I was hoping would happen, is my cursor would drop down a line and I would be in the cat command, I would then right some text and when I hit return, a NUL character would be appended to the text I had written and my synthesizer would speak the words I had written? But when I hit return I just get a new shell prompt? I tried typing: echo -n -e '\000' then hit return then typed: cat > /dev/cu.usbserial-FTKVMAFF but when I enter text my synthesizer doesen't speak? Wondering what I am doing wrong?
