What is the code language to get Serial Monitor to work and where do you put it
Load the sketch found here and then open your Serial Monitor.
Hi,
I'm also having trouble with the serial monitor. I'm new, but I've run several examples, and made up a few sketches on my own, and it was working fine. Then I went to run a sketch today and it is giving me jibberish. I pasted in your code from your reply and tried it, and I'm still getting jibberish. I hope I haven't fried it. I've pasted the error message below and what the serial monitor is giving me.
from the bottom of the sketch:
Binary sketch size: 2,966 bytes (of a 32,256 byte maximum) - 9% used
avrdude: verification error, first mismatch at byte 0x0000
0x0c != 0xff
avrdude: verification error; content mismatch
I can't get any of the jibberish from the serial monitor to copy/paste into this thread. Below is just a sample...

I'm not sure what I've done wrong.
Please help.
Thx
The error message means that the program did not upload to the Arduino. Save the program, close the IDE, check your USB connections and try again.
You are probably getting gibberish on the Serial monitor because the baud rate set in Serial.begin() does not match the setting in the Serial monitor (bottom right of the screen)
Thank you so much . I will try that. I was pretty brain fried
...didn't even think about "rebooting" the IDE.
have a great night
