A question about "serial.print" command

Projects Programming
1

Dear all,

I am a beginner in Arduino and I felt confused in a command "serial.print". I used this command in my program, but nothing show for me although I obverse a serial monitor by using Arduino 1.0

have you included:

Serial.begin(baudRate);

Is the baud rate in the begin call the same as the serial monitor is using?
What are you trying to print?

It is impossible to help without you posting code.

I felt confused in a command "serial.print"

It is called "Serial.print" - "serial.print" will give you a compilation error.

I set a baud rate,
Serial.begin(115200);
and I want to print x, y coordinate from encoder which install in motor
Serial.print("o"); // o indicates odometry message
Serial.print("\t");
Serial.print(_OdometricLocalizer.X, 3);
Serial.print("\t");
Serial.print(_OdometricLocalizer.Y, 3);
Serial.print("\t");
Serial.print(_OdometricLocalizer.Heading, 3);
Serial.print("\t");
Serial.print(_OdometricLocalizer.V, 3);
Serial.print("\t");
Serial.print(_OdometricLocalizer.Omega, 3);
Serial.print("\t");

Serial.print(_OdometricLocalizer.VLeft, 3);
Serial.print("\t");
Serial.print(_OdometricLocalizer.VRight, 3);
Serial.print("\t");
Serial.print(_LeftEncoderTicks);
Serial.print("\t");
Serial.print(_RightEncoderTicks);

Have you set the Baud Rate in the bottom right corner of the serial monitor in the IDE to 115200?

6

Yes, it already set baud rate 1152000 baud automatically

Assuming it still isn't working, post your whole sketch, between code tags (# button above)

My code came from Google Code Archive - Long-term storage for Google Code Project Hosting. ros/source/browse/trunk/Arduino/Robot/Robot.pde?r=58 and the code descriptions are from Ardros – Controller and Drive System – Dr Rainer Hessmer

I suppose the program can show x, y coordinate from encoder motor
