Sending data to the Arduino IDE console under normal operation

1

So I’m trying to get numerical data sent to the Arduino IDE serial monitor while my program is running to keep a running log of a few variable values for debugging purposes. Unfortunately I can’t seem to get any output; if I uncomment “XOD_DEBUG” and “XOD_DEBUG_ENABLE_TRACE” in the generated code, setting my terminal to 115200 baud, I see the transactions being executed appropriately so I know the patch and serial link is working OK. Here’s how I have my patch set up, which seems to be incorrect (Enable input into the clock is set to “TRUE”):

I’d like to be able to just get a string output to the serial monitor once per second for testing and that’s what I’m going for here, but no luck. If anyone could post a working example of a patch that does this I’d appreciate it, thanks!

Board is an Arduino Uno variant (Sparkfun Redboard.)

Hello!

console-log is a debug facility. It acts only if you check “Debug after upload” checkbox in the upload dialog. So enable it and you will see your values in a serial monitor.

BTW, you can use xod/core/watch instead of (or along with) the console-log to monitor the values right within XOD IDE.
