Are you using the standard Arduino IDE? If not, desist from whatever you are using and install the proper Arduino IDE immediately.
Therein, under Examples, you will find a raft of examples, one of which, in the SD section, is a datalogger writing to (surprise!) the SD card.
Since you don't have an SD facility, you might get some value from trying option 1. I described above.
Here is the code
void loop() {
delay((1000);
Serial.print("hello, world! ");
Serial.println(millis()/1000);
}
Yes, that's it. Good luck, I'm not in a position to test it at the moment, but sure it will work
