Title: Serial Monitor updates
Post by Cynthia MacLeod on May 8^th, 2019 at 7:41pm

I have 2 requests for the serial monitor.

Support ANSI color / terminal escape sequences.
Using e.g. putty to monitor the output allows coloured output to be easily seen while using and debugging code, but requires closing / opening to re-program.

Performance - the serial monitor windows in Visual Studio / Visual Micro seem to be fairly poor performance wise.

Thanks, yes the serial monitor is being redeveloped to a similar system to putty along with some extra bits.

It's difficult to know exactly what part of performance you are referring too. Can you explain a bit more and also confirm you are testing with Release and not Debug mode? Thanks
