[Solved] Ascii Table Program

Hi,

I'm a newbee at Arduino, and I just got my Duemilanove. I followed the getting started instructions, downloaded the 0012 Alpha software package, got the USB recognized by windows (yea!), found the USB port, told the IDE that I have a Diecimila, uploaded Blink, the light flashed, I then modified the program to give random flashes, it worked also (yea! again). NEXT, I uploaded the example program Ascii Table, saw the Rx/Tx lights flash and then nothing. I then added the Blink code to the Ascii Table code and saw a blinking LED, but no Ascii Table. The blinking stopped as it was supposed to when the number got to 126. Where is the Ascii Table supposed to show up? I assume that it is supposed to show up in the IDE below the sketch pad.

// ASCII Table
// by Nicholas Zambetti

#include "WProgram.h"
void setup();
void loop();
int ledPin = 13; // LED connected to digital pin 13

void setup()
{
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); // sets the digital pin as output
Serial.begin(4800);

// prints title with ending line break
Serial.println("ASCII Table ~ Character Map");

// wait for the long string to be sent
delay(100);
}

int number = 33; // first visible character '!' is #33

void loop()
{
digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); // sets the LED on
delay(1000); // waits for a second
digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW); // sets the LED off
delay(1000); // waits for a second

Serial.print(number, BYTE); // prints value unaltered, first will be '!'

Serial.print(", dec: ");
Serial.print(number); // prints value as string in decimal (base 10)
// Serial.print(number, DEC); // this also works

Serial.print(", hex: ");
Serial.print(number, HEX); // prints value as string in hexadecimal (base 16)

Serial.print(", oct: ");
Serial.print(number, OCT); // prints value as string in octal (base 8)

Serial.print(", bin: ");
Serial.println(number, BIN); // prints value as string in binary (base 2)
// also prints ending line break

// if printed last visible character '~' #126 ...
if(number == 126) {
// loop forever
while(true) {
continue;
}
}

number++; // to the next character

delay(100); // allow some time for the Serial data to be sent
}

You are correct about the location as of where to expect the ascii/serial. But you'll need to hit the serial monitor button (the rightmost button in the arduino IDE):

THANKS! :exclamation
