Using "Monitor" function in left panel of Web Editor

I have a sketch that compiles and reads-out information to the serial monitor/window in my offline Arduino IDE.

When I move this sketch to the Web Editor, the Web Editor correctly identifies the board and communication port I'm using, compiles my sketch without error, and appears to run it fine. However, I cannot access the serial monitor readout function in the left panel of the Web Editor.

I need to see what values my sensor reads out, hence my desire to use the Serial Monitor function in the Web Editor. And this sketch is intended to be shared with my teammates, hence the desire to use the Web Editor instead of the offline IDE.

Is there something obvious I'm missing about making this work?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @verdagy. I see you are using the "old" version of Cloud Editor. Unless you have a specific reason for using the the "old" version, please switch to using the new one. We are still providing access to the old version on a temporary basis during this current transition period, but we aren't able to dedicate resources to supporting the use of the obsolete "old" version.

You can switch to the "new" Cloud Editor by clicking the "try it out!" link in the notification at the bottom right corner of the Cloud Editor page:

If you still have problems using Serial Monitor in the "new" version, please let me know and I'll investigate further.

Hi @ptillisch ! I saw that and already tried to upgrade to the new Cloud Editor, but when I click on "try it out", nothing happens. As such, I assumed that it was just a permanent popup. Is there a way to force an update/switch?

Hi again, @ptillisch ! I restarted my browser and the Web Editor update now works. Thanks for prompting me to look into that again! This issue is resolved!

You are welcome. I'm glad it is working now. Thanks for taking the time to post an update!
