Serial
- Print format
Prints data to the serial port as human-readable ASCII text.
Format: specifies the number base (for integral data types) or number of decimal places (for floating point types)
Example: reads an analog input on analog in 0, prints the value out.
- Serial read
Reads incoming serial data.
Returns the first byte of incoming serial data available (or -1 if no data is available) – int
- Serial available:
Get the number of bytes (characters) available for reading from the serial port. This is data that’s already arrived and stored in the serial receive buffer (which holds 64 bytes).
- Print on new line:
Prints data to the serial port as human-readable ASCII text followed by a carriage return character (ASCII 13, or ‘\r’) and a newline character (ASCII 10, or ‘\n’). To view the output text, the serial baud rate should be set to 9600. This is a choice of TUNIOT to make thing easier.
Example: Showing the value of the photo-resistor on the serial monitor Video
- Serial Write:
Writes binary data to the serial port. This data is sent as a byte or series of bytes; to send the characters representing the digits of a number use the print function instead.
- Serial write (return):
Will return the number of bytes written, though reading that number is optional.
Return BYTE.
- Serial Flush:
Waits for the transmission of outgoing serial data to complete.
