Using ATOM (platformio) Serial CMD

Hello friends.

I am facing a problem. again.

I am now experimenting with the lib: GitHub - GreenPonik/DFRobot_ESP_PH_BY_GREENPONIK: Read PH on ESP32 by using Gravity: Analog pH Sensor / Meter Kit V2, SKU:SEN0161-V2

Here i try to get the example, that is on the front of the GITHUB rasp to work.

#include "DFRobot_ESP_PH.h"
#include <EEPROM.h>

DFRobot_ESP_PH ph;
#define ESPADC 4096.0   //the esp Analog Digital Convertion value
#define ESPVOLTAGE 3300 //the esp voltage supply value
#define PH_PIN 35		//the esp gpio data pin number
float voltage, phValue, temperature = 25;

void setup()
{
	Serial.begin(115200);
	EEPROM.begin(32);//needed to permit storage of calibration value in eeprom
	ph.begin();
}

void loop()
{
	static unsigned long timepoint = millis();
	if (millis() - timepoint > 1000U) //time interval: 1s
	{
		timepoint = millis();
		//voltage = rawPinValue / esp32ADC * esp32Vin
		voltage = analogRead(PH_PIN) / ESPADC * ESPVOLTAGE; // read the voltage
		Serial.print("voltage:");
		Serial.println(voltage, 4);
		
		//temperature = readTemperature();  // read your temperature sensor to execute temperature compensation
		Serial.print("temperature:");
		Serial.print(temperature, 1);
		Serial.println("^C");

		phValue = ph.readPH(voltage, temperature); // convert voltage to pH with temperature compensation
		Serial.print("pH:");
		Serial.println(phValue, 4);
	}
	ph.calibration(voltage, temperature); // calibration process by Serail CMD
}

float readTemperature()
{
	//add your code here to get the temperature from your temperature sensor
}

The build runs perfect and i also see the right values in my serial monitor.

My problem now: To start the calibration for the PH measure, the code expects a command in thr serial monitor. But when i enter the Command,for example "ENTERPH" in the terminal or the serial monitor (are those both the same things?) in the platformio IDE i get the message that the command wasnt recoginzed.

The path of my Serialmonitor or terminal is: PS C:\Users\manue\Documents\PlatformIO\Projects\test>
and "test" is my projectfolder. So i think the path is right.

How can i check if my Serial monitor or terminal works properly? Maybe its some kind of platformio-setting-issue.

I am frustrated. Hope someone has the right idea

thank you

Please explain why the Arduino forum should provide support for the platformio IDE. So neither your software nor your hardware is from Arduino.

Why not?

Isnt this forum a plattforum to share knowledge? to be constructive and help each other?

Many here in this forum also using ans ESP32 and not an Arduino and there is no problem?

Yes, but they use at least the Arduino IDE.
