This lets you more easily see what is going on in the program and optionally control it. I have another instructable that give a quite powereful way to do this that is also simple to implement. If no serial monitor ( terminal program ) is connected there is generally no harm, the bits just go right in the bit bucket for recycling. |

Many programs boot up, set up, and run a loop forever doing one thing over and over. | Many programs boot up, set up, and run a loop forever doing one thing over and over. | ||
− | I like to make my programs | + | I like to make my programs mor interesitng by letting a user control them using the serial monitor ( or other terminal program, see especially: [[Python Smart Terminal]] ). I have written a library like object SerialCmd to support this. SerialCmd.cpp and SerialCmd.h are used over and over in my different programs, they are essentially library programs and you can just use them as is without every looking at them. |
So here I will not discuss there internals but just how they are used in the sample program. | So here I will not discuss there internals but just how they are used in the sample program. |
