Hi

The serial is not different between free and paid.

It outputs when it receives a line break or after a few seconds.

serial.print("test");

serial.println("-test2");
serial.println();


It's possible the connect isn't happening properly.

If does the monitor say port open when it opens?

You haven't said which board you are using, that's important when discussing serial because some boards are very different?

Does clicking the connect button have any effect

Hi,

Thanks for the info. You don't need anything for the free version so you can ignore all the registration screens.

Info and questions.

1)
The serial monitor only opens automatically after upload when debug starts which is why it doesn't auto open. In the free version it works the same as the arduino ide. Of course you have the option to leave it open and it will restart automatically after upload.

2)
When debug runs it tries to automatically discover the correct serial speed. Without debug it is important to confirm that the speed on the monitor is set to match your code? If the serial monitor is quite narrow the speed setting will have wrapped onto the pull down menu. Can you see it?

3)
Is the serial you are expecting to see being sent only once from the setup() code or repeatedly in the loop()? If it is being sent only once from setup() does adding a delay(2000) to the beginning of setup() solve the issue?

4)
Does clicking the Connect to disconnect then clicking again to reconnect show serial data.

5)
Is DTR switched on?

Thanks

Great.

All the licenses are the same. You pay more if you use the software for business/profit making purposes.

Humm...
Tried again with edge.
Same result as chrome.

Trying the 1 and 3 machine personal licence.

Need the 3 licence because my son (14) and me are making a project for his school.

Don't know if it's just me or not.
