What You Should See
Serial Output
Heads up!
To view the serial output using the Chrome browser and the MakeCode's serial plotter and
terminal, the micro:bit will need to have
0249, 0250 or higher
. To update, make sure to follow these
instructions from micro:bit's support to display live serial data MakeCode console.
You can pair, upload code to the micro:bit, and view the output on the MakeCode console without having to
drag and drop the file to the micro:bit after updating the firmware. For more information about using the
WebUSB feature on MakeCode, make sure to check out the instructions provided by micro:bit support.
DISPLAYING REAL TIME SERIAL DATA IN THE MAKECODE CONSOLE
Otherwise, you can use your favorite serial terminal or program to real time, serial data plotter to graph the
output.
We'll use the MakeCode console to output the serial output again. If you have paired the micro:bit to your
computer and used the one-click download feature for MakeCode, a "
Show console Device
" button should
appear in MakeCode. Click on the button to view the serial output.
