Extended Functionality -> Build in Serial Monitor #23

Closed Seahawk240 closed 3 years ago

Seahawk240 commented 3 years ago

Hey there,

following a suggestion of @ollivier44 I want to implement a new Tab inside the program, probably next to the exports/imports tab. This Tab will include a serial Monitor where one can see the data sent to and from the different Com-Ports. I even want to include a function to send custom data with a text field.

This idea came up due to the inability to use the Arduino IDE Serial Monitor tool while your MCU is connected to the program. That is a basic problem, because a serial Connection is one on one in it's design, at least as far as I know. (correct me on that if I'm wrong) Anyway it would be nice to be able to test/debug directly with user generated code or to just look at the data transfer between the program and the MCU without using virtual COM-Ports like I did in the past.

I think that's all Greetings Matthias
