hi is there any way i could have my microcontroler do serial print and than do a new line and print again on the new line?
Serial.print('\n'); will print a carriage return.
So will Serial.println();

Actually:
Serial.print('\n'); will print '\n', which is a newline character (sometimes called a "line feed").
Serial.println(); will print '\r' and '\n', which is a carriage return character followed by a newline character.
Although both outputs may appear the same on a terminal screen, sometimes it makes a difference to programs that are reading the stream.
To the Original Poater: You don't necessarily need a separate Serial.println() statement. If you want to print x on one line and y on the next line you can do this:
Serial.println(x);
Serial.println(y);
The next print after this will be on the line after y.
