Conditional information displayed on serial monitor

[SierraGolfMike]

Did you try the Google search that I suggested?

Yes I did Google VT 100 escape codes and found a few pages but none of them showed how to adapt them to Arduino! I have found a sample sketch where they use a

#define BLINK "\033[5m"   Then:

Serial.print (BLINK);  I assume that switches BLINK on and anything printed after will blink?

Am I correct in thinking that if I define all the codes I need, I just invoke them by using a Serial.print statement? Also can I use these in conjunction with Ansiterm, using some of each code.

Thanks

That is how I would go about it.

I don't know what Ansiterm is.

I tried to run Rob Tillaart's VT100 sketch where he defines OFF. BOLD, LOWINTENS, UNDERLINE, BLINK and REVERSE using the relevant ANSI escape codes. I am using PuTTY but the BLINK and the LOWINTENS do not work, the rest do The BLINK just gives a background colour of grey. Does that mean that PuTTY does not support them?

You will have to read the PuTTY documentation for that.
