when Programming Arduino from external PC using Arduino 1.6.5 IDE version i can't use arduino serial monitor to see the serial data i have sent using serial.print (). Is there any way to send serial data to PC through USB cable?
from http://www.udoo.org/arduino-m4-external-programming-its-time/ A warning before you start: for external programming the serial monitor doesn’t work yet. @Andrea Rovai Perhaps add this warning to the docs, it does not mention this warning.
so you mean that the serial communication already occurs between UDOO Neo and the PC but i cant use the serial monitor to see it ? And if yes can i use any other tool such as minicom to see the data ? Or there is no serial communication occurs at all ?
Arduino on Neo has 2 serial ports: 1 to external pins so you have to have a serial to USB converter to read that on your PC and 1 port to the A9 Linux Core. Perhaps if you make an SSH or VNC connection through USB Direct Connection you could read the serial connection on the Linux side with minicom -D /dev/ttyMCC. But I don't know if external programming still worrks if you have an active USB Direct Connection. I am wondering why you use the Neo only for Arduino? You then better just buy an Arduino instead of a Linux/Arduino combination. Its cheaper also Or programm it from Linux Arduino IDE, then you dont have this communication issues also.
I'm still a beginner and i want to take it step by step and Arduino is easier and doesn't have the powerful capabilities of Neo and all its features.
Well, in this way you are making it just harder for yourself. Use the Linux part too. When I started with the Neo I did not have any Linux experience too. You have to see the Linux part as a PC and then you don't need your own PC any more.
Dear @waltervl, many thanks for the bugs report, I've just added a note in the docs. I also suggest you to listen to waltervl: don't be afraid of Linux! Moreover there's a lot of resources online for getting started with Linux
