been using rc6 on Wemos D1 R1 and its working quite well, with quirks/
issues/problems with serial monitor.
#1 automatic only sometimes. I would think that when compile finishes and upload finishes [no errors] you could start serial monitor, like wish when start uplload/compile would terminate serial monitor
#2 if upload while serial monitor enabled pgm compiles the fails because still in
monitor mode
#3 shift-ctrl-M to start serial monitor causes a reboot of Wemos D1 R1
Your topic has been move to the dedicated IDE2.0 betasection of the forum.
#2 Does it fail to compile or does it fail to upload?
#3 I think that that is intended behaviour for any version ofthe IDE. It definitely is for boards like Uno, Nano and Mega.
You can have a look in Arduino IDE 2.0 - Arduino Forum and check for similar problems.
fails to upload ie port not available
I just have to shift-ctrl-M before it gets to far into compile.
I don't like the Wemos reboot when entering serial mode
I don't have much experience with the Wemos, I mostly live in the AVR world. If you don't like the fact that it resets when you open the serial monitor, use a different terminal program that you can configure to suppress the DTR signal (and possibly the RTS signal); in Windows e.g. RealTerm.
Disadvantage is that the IDE can't control the terminal program like it can control the serial monitor so before you start an upload you will have to close the port in the terminal program.
Hi @xtal1011. Thanks for taking the time to give the Arduino IDE 2.0.0 release candidate a try!
It would not make sense to automatically start the Serial Monitor because many sketches don't produce serial output, meaning it would be an annoyance to the user.
I do think it would be reasonable for the selected bottom panel view to switch back to Serial Monitor from the "Output" view that is automatically selected when you start a compile or upload. This is being tracked by the developers here:
However, this will no longer be an issue at all once the redesigned Serial Monitor is finished. As explained here:
We already designed the new one that is gonna be a separate window like the serial plotter.
There are a couple of bugs in 2.0.0-rc6 and older versions that could cause this symptom.
I'm happy to say that those bugs have now been fixed.
If you would like to give it a try, tester builds are available. I'll provide the instructions:
- Sign in to your GitHub account.
(GitHub only allows downloads of the tester builds when you are signed in) - Open this page in your browser:
https://github.com/arduino/arduino-ide/actions/runs/2462555111#artifacts - Click the link under the "Artifacts" section of the page for your operating system.
(e.g., "Windows_X86-64_zip" if you are using Windows) - Wait for the download to finish.
- Extract or install the downloaded file as usual.
The fix will also be in the nightly builds tomorrow.The nightly build download links are listed here:
