Console.println vs Console.print on Yun

Projects Programming

I am receiving humidity and temperature information from an xbee and then printing the results on the serial monitor via the console. When I use Console.println , the information prints to the serial monitor. However, when I use Console.print nothing is printed. I have seen Console.print used in other sketches, so I'm not sure why it isn't working. The baud rate in the serial monitor is 300. I'm also using the AltSoftSerial library to communicate with the xbee (which is apparently working since I receive the correct data, just can't print it out using Console.print)

Has anyone else had this issue? Any insight is appreciated?

This code prints to the serial monitor:

//print humidity and temperature results 
         
         Console.println("Humidity:");
         Console.println(humidity.humidity_reading);
         Console.println(" %\t");
         Console.println("Temperature:");
         Console.println(temperature.temp_reading);
         Console.println(" F");

This code DOES NOT print to the serial monitor:

//print humidity and temperature results 

         Console.print("Humidity:");
         Console.print(humidity.humidity_reading);
         Console.print(" %\t");
         Console.print("Temperature:");
         Console.print(temperature.temp_reading);
         Console.print(" F");

Thanks

I haven't looked at the Console class, but I'd guess that print() buffers data and println() dumps the buffer. Change the last print() to println() and see what happens.

Thanks. That did the trick. It now prints correctly.

or use Console.flush(). An example of the correct use of flush at last.
