LESSON 9: Using the Serial Port to Print to the Serial Monitor

This lesson focuses on using the serial port to transmit data from the Arduino to the computer’s screen, specifically through the serial monitor. Here’s a brief overview of what you will learn:

  1. Introduction to Serial Communication: Understanding the basics of serial communication between Arduino and your desktop computer.

  2. Setting up the Arduino Environment: Configuring the Arduino IDE, selecting the correct board, port, and basic sketch setup to ensure everything is ready for serial communication.

  3. Developing a Simple Counting Program: Writing a program that counts numbers and uses the serial port to display these numbers on the computer screen.

  4. Enhancing Program Functionality: Incorporating various data types and string manipulations to format and present data effectively on the serial monitor.

  5. Homework Assignment: Applying the concepts learned by modifying an LED blink program to include serial communication, reinforcing the lesson through practical application.
