Dear all, Sorry for this noob question. I`ve assembled a scheme with a thermometer. In Arduino IDE program I used a com port display (with a magnifying glass icon) to see the data from the sensor. But I can`t find it in XOD. Please help! ---

Hello and welcome! Add a `xod/core/watch` node and link it to a value you want to monitor. Then upload with “Debug after upload” option set. And you’ll see the values. A video from my [recent post](https://forum.xod.io/t/i-can-not-connect-the-ds18b20/297/11?u=nkrkv) demonstrates just that. Alternatively, use `xod/core/console-log` node to send arbitrary text lines. ---

Sorry, nkrkv, for mentioning it in this topic, but you helped me so much last time. I have crated a new topic, but there are no comments # [TM 1637 7 segment indicator](https://forum.xod.io/t/tm-1637-7-segment-indicator/1836) I can not think of a way to control this thing, there are only 4 pins there( ---
