![]() The Serial Monitor tool is a really great tool for debugging and establishing communication between a computer and an Arduino. You will find an example with more information on how to use this feature, further down this tutorial under the Using multiple Serial Monitors simultaneously section. In addition, we were limited to one Serial Monitor window, an obstacle that the IDE 2.0 removes. In the old editor, when changing the port/board, it changed across all windows. AdvantagesĪ major advantage with having the Serial Monitor integrated with the editor is the possibility to have multiple monitors open simultaneously. The Serial Monitor settings are also located here, such as adjusting the baud rate and sending messages. ![]() Notice how the Serial Monitor is located at the bottom of the editor: To understand how this works, let's take a look at how the old editor works: Instead of opening an external window for the Serial Monitor, it shows up where the console log is located, as an additional tab. The Arduino IDE 2.0 works a bit differently. The older versions of the editor features an external window that matches the port/board that we select. One major change that was introduced with the Arduino IDE 2.0 is the integrated Serial Monitor. ![]() ![]() You can also follow the downloading and installing the Arduino IDE 2.0 tutorial for more detailed guide on how to install the editor. You can download the editor from the Arduino Software page. This means that you can have multiple windows open, each with its own Serial Monitor. The Arduino IDE 2.0 has the Serial Monitor tool integrated with the editor, which means that no external window is opened when using the Serial Monitor. It can be used as a debugging tool, testing out concepts or to communicate directly with the Arduino board. The Serial Monitor is an essential tool when creating projects with Arduino. ![]()
