Let me say a Monitor has to be an extra Window, cause it is a Monitor
The best will be when you program an extra window looking like a monitor for:
(see Picture from an Arduino Project as monitor example:
)
Serail monitor with its known settings and eg. a send button instead of a [command +Enter] here both Button for Mouse and Screen Users
and [command +Enter] for the programmers.
2.
Serial Plotter with its known functions.
The old one was nearly perfect. Only missing zoom in and out eg. with a
magnifying glass.
Will be fine when you can support this well-known and proven technology again or even better!
THX!
Hi @michaeljohannes . Thanks for taking the time to try the beta phase Arduino IDE 2.x and providing your valuable feedback!
This is being tracked by the IDE developers here:
opened 07:48PM - 29 Mar 21 UTC
type: enhancement
topic: code
topic: serial monitor
### Describe the request
Allow **Serial Monitor** to be placed in a dedicated… window separate from the primary Arduino IDE window.
🙂 It will be possible for the user to control the display location of the Serial Monitor separately from the primary Arduino IDE window according to their needs and preferences.
🙂 This will provide feature parity with the Arduino IDE 1.x Serial Monitor.
### Describe the current behavior
Serial Monitor is a view in the bottom panel of the primary Arduino IDE window.
🙁 It is not possible to move Serial Monitor to a separate screen in order to dedicate all space on the primary screen to the Arduino IDE editor.
### Arduino IDE version
#### Original report
2.0.0-beta.4
#### Last verified with
2.0.1-snapshot-32d904c
### Operating system
All
### Operating system version
Any
### Additional context
The requested "tear off" capability would probably make sense for other windows ("**Output**" view) too.

**Describe the bug**
To me it appears as there is no send button in the serial … monitor. furthermore afai can tell the sm doesnt respond to enter.
**To Reproduce**
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
1. open sm
2. no send btn
3. no way to send with enter as well
**Expected behavior**
Add a send button and make the

Work is in progress on the Serial Plotter now:
arduino:main
← arduino:serial-plotter
opened 09:12AM - 05 Nov 21 UTC
Refactor the serial connection management and implement the Serial Plotter.
The latest test builds are available here if you would like to give it a try:
https://github.com/arduino/arduino-ide/actions/runs/1450699701#artifacts
or you can wait for the next Arduino IDE 2.x release, which will have the plotter.
