I’m sure this is a dumb question but i’m needing help with using serial terminal.
I’m runing simplefoc libraries and got my hover board moter spinning, yeh. After initializing it says in the serial monitor to enter value in the serial terminal to change velocity.
I put a number in serial monitor hit enter, nothing happens. Windows 11.
When running find kv rating library, serial monitor says enter Command K to get kv rating. Command is a mac function. I couldnt figure out what to enter.
Please read the forum guidelines. That will provide guidance on what we need to know in order to help you.
You should provide links to any libraries that do not come with the Arduino IDE.

I really get frustrated trying to use this forum. Simple questions are always met with long text of what you do wrong posting your question.
My question is simple and direct enough without posting a bunch of code.
What is "serial Terminal"
If you dont want to answer it or dont like the way i ask, fine don't reply.
Seems like there isn't any sense of wanting to help each other but rather a desire to dig at people who are looking for help
Ok, to use serial terminal, open it in the IDE, then set the com speed as needed in the UI.
Off you go.
Serial Monitor is NOT a serial ‘terminal’, it can’t send single characters, like ‘K’.
If you want a terminal try PuTTY or other proper terminal application..
I would not have posted if i did not want to help you. You have disabused me of that notion. Good luck.
How do you have the line ending set in the Serial Monitor panel?

What is "serial Terminal"
No, it's not.
You're asking "why is the interaction of Simplefoc and Serial Monitor nor working correctly?"
While most of are familiar with the Serial Monitor, I suspect that few have ever heard of "simplefoc", which means that to track down the problem, we have to figure out WHAT that is, WHERE it is, and then go track it down and LOOK at it to see what might make it not respond to data sent from the serial monitor.
If the code were included in your post, it would be RIGHT THERE and much easier for people not familiar with simplefoc to analyze.
So instead you're faced with "it's easier to tell them to post their code than it is to go find it" and "wild guesses" instead.
Thank you, you answered my question which was what is serial terminal. From your response i see it is the same as serial monitor. That was all i was wanting to confirm. From there ill try some trouble shooting.
We know nothing about your problem, but are still trying to help.
Thank you I am using simplefocstudio. It is monitor terminal all in one kind of. Fairly easy to use.
It was easy to find simplefoc on github; it was not so easy to find the find_kv_rating and once I found it there are 3 of them. That was approximately 10 minutes work; you could have made our lifes easier by posting the relevant code (so we are all on the same wavelength) and a link to the library.
With the above in mind (no code), it is difficult for us to comment on the below.
I think that the problem here is that you assumed that Command refers to the Mac command key (I think it's the Cmd key, I'm not a Mac user). It however is trying to tell you that you have to press the K key.
There is also a little confusion in terminolgy; find kv rating is not a library, it's an example sketch.
