I am writing a program using a MKR NB 1500 board with a dashboard. The example I started with uses the serial monitor to print debug information. I can not find how to enable the serial monitor when using the IoT cloud editor. In tutorials I have read it shows a tab for the serial monitor, but that tab is not present when I do it. The tab is now labeled Metadata which is not the serial monitor. Is there a way to turn on the serial monitor? The example program is printing serial data, I just can't see any of it. Any ideas?
I think you can use the serial monitor in the Web editor.
Press on your profile picture then click web editor.
That isn't the serial monitor. I did try that. I'll look again though. The black area below the code window does show text when uploading and programming the sketch, but not from any serial printing statements in the program though. In the tutorials I have read, there was a tab up on the right of where it shows the sketch name labeled Serial Monitor.
It just shows Serial port unavailable because 1. I did not install Create agent.
2. I have not connected anything to the computer.
So if you connect something it should show the serial monitor.
The black thing is the place where compiler and uploading messages appear.
I just tried it again and it indeed did open the serial monitor! I am confused as to why I didn't see that before. Thank you!
