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?

    More specifically, there is a serial port on the Arduinos that can be used to pass data to and fro from a connected device, you can also use a software serial port if you need more than one or reserve the one connected to the USB for software upload and the like

     

    If you are using windows to communitace with the Arduino, then once you have the program loaded and coded with the required "Serial.Print" type commands, you just need a terminal program to listen to the port

     

    There is one built into the Arduino IDE, or you can use Putty or any other terminal program you choose

     

    If you want to connect to the Arduino using a program then you would use the COM port apis for that language
