Question about the serial monitor
Aug 16th, 2016 at 3:24pm
Print Post  
I'm using Serial1 on a Arduino Due. It seem that the serial monitor does not display data sent on serial1 but only on the default serial port. The serial monitor window says Serial. Is it possibly to have the serial monitor display communication on other ports and if so how ?

Hi,

Assuming you are using a current version of visual micro. On the toolbar next to the COM port is a button/menu called "Other". This allows you to open a serial monitor on a port that is not also related to which port is used for upload to the Arduino.

In older versions of visual micro for as6.2 and vs2010 this feature was on "View>Other windows>arduino port"

You can open as many monitors as you like.

If your question is related to setting an alternative debug port then please see this guide

That menu 'Other' only lists COM3 Arduino Due programming port' as the only option. Under View other windows there are no item called arduino port

The "Other" menu should show the same list of ports as the normal ports list.

So maybe your question is "How to see Serial1" as a com port on a pc?

If so then the answer is to buy an FDTI cable or board that allows the Tx/Rx pins from Serial1 on your arduino to a udb port on the pc. Then windows will show an additional COM port in all the port lists.

Does this make sense or have I missed the point?
