Create your own Handheld Serial Monitor for Project Debugging -- Episode 557

So, print to serial is useful for debugging microcontroller projects, but if you're not at your computer then it’s harder to debug in this way. So in this video I make my own portable device to display the serial comms from other circuits.

    Cool project.

    The ability to save the comms being viewed to SD card might be a handy addition for a future version. Either a snapshot of what is currently on the screen or a continuous logging mode. It would allow the logged data to be reviewed later in a more comfortable environment.
