Serioius serial monitor problems HELP!!!!!!!
I am having similar problems. Serial monitor was never reliable with the Arduino IDE and windows. I always had to screw around with everything i could, running into Java crashes if data was sent too quickly all sorts of other problems. Had to add delays to prevent Java crashes and that made it impossible to do real time debugging.
I was using the serial monitor somewhat reliably a day or two ago and now there is nothing i can do to keep it running for more than a second or two. Here are some details. Arduino 1.8. The latest Teensyduino. Windows 10 64 bit. I have not changed anything since the time when the serial monitor was working fairly reliably. I have tried several teensy 3.5 and 3.6 boards, different cables and rebooted the computer many times.
Now i get a blank monitor window most of the time but occasionally a little data for about a second and then it freezes. Closing the monitor and opening it does not help. If i recompile and reload to the teensy i can some times get the serial monitor window to work but now only briefly. I have changed USB sockets between usb2 and usb 3 ports. I turned off bluetooth, changed baud rate up and down, added a delay in the code after serial begin and used this suggested code:
void setup() {
Serial.begin(57600);
while(!Serial && millis() < 5000 );
I can't think of anything else to try and really need the monitor. I am debugging a very complicated sketch and need the monitor. I have a very good reliable computer but it is running windows any other suggestions? I have no problem uploading compiled code so i doubt it is a cable or socket problem especially since i have tried three cables and two different boards 3.5 and 3.6.
