serial monitor for win 7

Former Member

I have found that some things with the ARDUINO require you to use a serial monitor on the computer to monitor the out put.

 

Iam using windows 7.  Can any one help get a serial monitor set up on ths computer?

    Hi Bob,

    If the program you have running on the Arduino is sending data to the computer all you have to do is have the USB cord hooked up. Have the Arduino IDE downloaded and running, open tools and select the proper com port. Match the baud rate to the baud rate selected in the Arduino program and open the monitor in the IDE window. Most of the books on beginning arduino will have a chapter that takes you step by step through the process. I know that "Exploring Arduino" by Jeremy Blum has a good chapter on this. Windows 7 works very well with the Arduino IDE. Hope this helps.
