Often I put a bunch of Serial.print( F("debugging messages") )
in my Arduino sketch.
Normally those messages go up a USB cable to a host PC so those messages can be seen on the serial monitor.
I want to install this Arduino as part of a stand-alone system far from any PC and plug the "host" end of the USB cable into a wall-wart USB charger.
Without anything to accept those messages, the buffer on the Arduino eventually fills up, right? Do I need to do anything to keep the Arduino from overflowing and crashing when it's not connected to a host PC?
Does it make any difference if I'm using a (1) "single-chip" Arduino-compatible where the processor includes on-chip USB, vs. (2) an Arduino-compatible with separate "USB interface chip" and "processor chip"? (By "single-chip Arduino-compatible", I mean things like the Arduino Leonardo, Arduino Yún, LilyPad Arduino USB, Arduino Micro, the Teensy-LC, etc.)
