Serial.print('Hello world.' ) gives 'Hello world.' An optional second parameter specifies the base (format) to use; permitted values are BIN(binary, or base 2), OCT(octal, or base 8), DEC(decimal, or base 10), HEX(hexadecimal, or base 16). These Arduino projects are designed to display the value of inputs using the serial monitor. Serial is a method of communication between a peripheral and a computer. In this case, it is serial communication over Universal Serial Bus (USB). When reading sensors with an Arduino, the values are sent over this connection and can be. Arduino Serial Monitor A resource for debugging and more A computer has provision for input and output, and a way to store the programs which process the input and determine the output.

serial monitor of arduino IDE 1.6.3 is not showing any data of serial.print() command while other softwares like fritzing shows the data(i.e. no error in program). can any one help???? |
commented May 6, 2015
have you tried adding Serial.flush or using Serial.println instead? |
commented May 6, 2015
yes i tried it ... It gives me error given below: Arduino: 1.6.3 (Windows 7), Board: 'Arduino Uno' sketch_may06a.ino: In function 'void loop()': sketch_may06a.ino:11:17: error: no matching function for call to 'HardwareSerial::flush(const char [2])' sketch_may06a.ino:11:17: note: candidate is: In file included from C:Program Files (x86)Arduinohardwarearduinoavrcoresarduino/Arduino.h:223:0, C:Program Files (x86)Arduinohardwarearduinoavrcoresarduino/HardwareSerial.h:118:18: note: virtual void HardwareSerial::flush() C:Program Files (x86)Arduinohardwarearduinoavrcoresarduino/HardwareSerial.h:118:18: note: candidate expects 0 arguments, 1 provided Error compiling.

You should be calling Serial.flush() without any arguments after you did the println() , it doesn't replace the println() . |
commented May 6, 2015
i tried this too.. it didn't give any error but didn't work too. :( |

Arduino Print To Serial Monitor Online
again serial monitor screen is empty.. here is the code.. float a; void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); } void loop() { Serial.println('-------------------'); Serial.flush(); a = millis(); Serial.print('a '); Serial.flush(); Serial.println(a); Serial.flush(); Serial.println('-------------------'); Serial.flush(); delay(2000); } it scrolls the serial monitor but show nothing. |
commented May 6, 2015
First millis() does not return float, but unsigned long! Second: Is the baud rate matching? |
commented May 6, 2015
hmmm yes baud rate is matched .... i have tested it by using other serial monitor like fritzing.. the output properly displayed on that.. but serial monitor of arduino IDE doesn't show any value images are attached for refernce... |
commented May 6, 2015
here you can see baud rate is 9600 and value by millis() is printed ... so does it matter where the value is float or unsigned long??? . if yes how??? if its about there length then the data is displayed through another monitor with same rate.... |
commented May 6, 2015
And sorry its their.. not there.. |
commented May 6, 2015
The type thing does not break anything in such a simple sketch. Could you modify the sketch to stop printing after about 20 times and then try to select and copy from the serial monitor? Since the scrollbars are visible this might just be a problem of not properly updating the displayed output? Please also check with a non-aero windows theme. There are some combinations of graphics drivers and JVMs that tend to update the output too slowly thus sometimes not displaying output when transparency is used. |
commented May 6, 2015
@sajanmittal please notice the error in the Arduino IDE: 'Error opening serial port 'COM3'. (Port busy)'. I suspect you have the serial port opened in Fritzing. You need to close the serial communication in Fritzing first, as two program can not use the same serial port at the same time. |
commented May 6, 2015
I think this is not the problem because you can not even open other serial monitor while other serial monitor is receiving data. it will show the error Error opening serial port 'COM3'. (Port busy) This report would have more information with 'Show verbose output during compilation' enabled in File > Preferences. since you can see in images that my serial monitor of Arduino IDE is opened, so it means my port is free at that time. these images are of different time. one serial monitor is closed while using other.. |
commented May 26, 2015
You have the port open somewhere else. Close all other programs and see if the issue persists. |

I know this thread is stale... but in case someone else has a problem with the Arduino Due sending output to Serial Monitor. Instead of: Serial.println('I'm here!'); .... Try to use something like: SerialUSB.println('I'm here!'); Hope that helps... |

Hello friends, I hope you all are fine and having fun with your lives. Today, I am going to share a very basic and introductory tutorial named as How to use Arduino Serial Read. I am sharing this tutorial because I am getting a lot of emails in which users normally asks about basic Arduino tutorials as they are very new to it. So, I thought of sharing this very basic Arduino tutorial in which we are gonna have a look at how we can use Arduino Serial Read command.
I selected this tutorial as my first tutorial in this list of Arduino basic tutorials because learning to use Serial port is very necessary as its one of the best troubleshooting tool for your code. I know things are looking bit complex here but I have explained each and everything below in detail so don’t you worry. Just read it once in complete so that you get all the tiny details of this Arduino Serial Read. I have also given a Proteus Simulation in which I have received the incoming data from serial port and displayed it on LCD. Before going into the details of this Arduino Serial Read, let me first discuss the Serial Port in General.
What is Serial Port ?
- I have already written a detailed tutorial on this topic which you can read at What is Serial Port ?
- Serial Port is used for data communication, it sends data from one place to another.
- Serial Port has 9 pins in total and all these 9 pins are used for different purposes.
- The two of these pins most commonly used are TX (transmitter) and RX (Receiver).
- So, using these two pins we send our data from one place to another.
- Now I hope that you have got the pretty basic idea of What is Serial Port but if not then you should read What is Serial Port?
- Now let’s have a look at Arduino Serial Port first, before having a look at Arduino Serial Read.
Serial Port in Arduino
- All Arduino boards have Serial Ports on them.
- If we talk about Arduino UNO, then it has only one serial port on it and it is located at pin 0 and pin 1.
- If you look closely at Arduino UNO board then you can see a little TX is written on its pin # 1 and a little RX is written on its pin # 0, as shown in below figure:
- So, now we have got the Serial Port on Arduino UNO which we know are at pin # 0 and pin # 1, now in the next part, we are gonna have a look at How to use Arduino Serial Read and get data from this Serial Port.
How to use Arduino Serial Read ?
- Arduino Serial read command is used for reading any data available at the Serial Port.
- I have also designed a Proteus simulation which you can download from below button, and I have explained this simulation in the last step of this tutorial:
- For example, you have some module let’s say GPS module (most of the GPS module works at serial port).
- So, when you connect your GPS module with Arduino, you have to connect the TX pin of GPS with RX pin of Arduino.
- Now the TX pin of GPS will be sending / transmitting the data and because this pin is connected with the RX pin of Arduino, so Arduino will keep receiving the data.
- So, that’s how Serial Port works.
- Now the data is coming to Arduino but you have to write some code to read this incoming serial data and then save it in some space.
- So, here the Arduino Serial Read command is used.
- Arduino Serial read command reads the incoming data from Serial Port and then saves it in some variable.
- Here’s the syntax of Arduino Serial Read command:
- Arduino USB Port which is plugged into the computer and is used for uploading the code, also works on the same serial port.
- So, if you have anything plugged in the pin # 0 of Arduino then you can’t upload the code in Arduino.
Now, let’s design a simple example in which we will be receiving data from Serial Port and then saving it in some variable.
- Now, you need to open the Serial Monitor of Arduino which is used for debugging purposes.
- So, whenever you write something on Serial Port then its got printed in the Serial monitor.
- So, whatever you will be receiving in the Serial Port you will get int the Serial Monitor.
- Here’s some random data of GSM module coming on serial port and showing in serial monitor:

How to use Arduino Serial Read in Proteus?
- So, now let’s design a small Proteus simulation in which we will see how to use Arduino Serial Read.
- Proteus doesn’t have Arduino by default in it, so you need to first download this Arduino Library for Proteus and then you will be able to simulate your Arduino board in Proteus.
- So, design a simple circuit as shown in below figure:
- In the above figure I have placed an LCD and I will get the data from serial port and then I will print that data on LCD.
- So, in simple words, whatever I type in Virtual terminal will be shown on LCD.
- You also need to download this New LCD Library for Proteus to get this amazing LCD in Proteus.
- So, now use the below code and Get your Hex File from Arduino Software:
Arduino Print To Serial Monitor
- Now when you start the Proteus simulation then first screen will look something like this:
Print From Arduino Serial Monitor To File
- Now whatever you write in your Serial Port, will show on the LCD as shown in below figure:
Arduino Not Printing To Serial Monitor
- That’s how the Arduino Serial Read works.
- You can download this Proteus simulation and the Arduino code by clicking the Download button given in the start of this post.
So, that’s how you can use the Arduino Serial Read command and can do your task. If, its still difficult for you then let me know on comments and I will try my best to resolve your issues. Thanks.
