Problem: can't print to the serial monitor, it appears that the serial monitor disconnects itself after uploading a program.
I'm brand new to arduino, and I'm trying to upload a basic program to print to the serial monitor.
I use an arduino uno and my OS is Ubuntu. I am connecting the arduino to my PC via USB. Using Arduino Studio Release 0.0.5 experimental build 0.0.5-16058
(I am able to communicate via the digital output pins, tested by making a simple circuit to make the led light blink)
Here is the program:
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop()
{
Serial.print("test");
delay(500);
}
Here is the result of the build, look at the last line and it says the serial monitor was disconnected? Why would this happen automatically?
