Where does Serial.println() output go?

Post by 81Saluki »

I have an Uno connected to my computer via USB. When using Serial.println(), where does the output go? I expected it to appear in the IDE's message area … e.g. following the "Binary sketch size:" info ... but nothing appears there.

So, where does the output go? Refer to the following simple "Hello World" code below. Do I need to change the baud rate? Or do something else? Hmmm, what am I missing here?

Code: Select all

#include <Adafruit_NeoPixel.h>

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop()
{
  Serial.println("Hello World");
  delay(30000);  //wait 30 seconds before printing the message again
}
Thanks!

Open the Serial Monitor window. There's an icon in the upper right of every IDE window.
