I'm trying to set up a Serial Monitor in SimulIDE, so I can keep track of the variables in my Simulation:
However I apparently need a port to open the monitor:
I've seen Youtube videos where they use portnames like "/tmp/ttyS1" or "/dev/ttys001", but non of them work on my Windows machine. How can I get this to work?
When first answered picked on the port names, thinking physical serial ports were in use.
Port names such as /tmp/ttyS1 or /dev/ttys001 are used for serial ports under Linux.
Under Windows serial port names are of form COM<number>. E.g. COM2.
The SuperUser question How to view serial COM ports but not through Device Manager on how to list COM port numbers under Windows, in addition to the Device Manager.
On reading the question again, realised that SimulIDE is actually a simulator.
SimulIDE Knowledge Base – SERIAL MONITOR – contains:
Right-Click on the Component and select “Open Serial Monitor”. If there are more than one UART you will see a list of available Uarts.
Choose one to open the Serial Monitor widget for that Uart
On the above web page, the virtual serial port name is shown as Uart1.
