    Arduino Serial Monitor Print Example (Serial.println)

    easySerial MonitorArduino (C++)

    The Serial Monitor is how an Arduino talks back to you — essential for checking sensor readings.

    The question

    Start serial communication at 115200 baud and print "Hello from Arduino" on a new line every 1000 ms.

    The sketch

    sketch.ino

    void setup() {
      Serial.begin(115200);
    }
    
    void loop() {
      Serial.println("Hello from Arduino");
      delay(1000);
    }

    Wiring

    No wiring needed — open the Serial Monitor.

    How it works

    1. 1Serial.begin(9600) in setup() starts communication at 9600 bits per second.
    2. 2Serial.println() sends text followed by a new line.
    3. 3The Serial Monitor's baud rate must match the number in Serial.begin().

    Common mistakes

    • A baud-rate mismatch, which shows garbage characters.
    • Forgetting Serial.begin(), so nothing appears at all.
