How to Open and Use Serial Monitor in Arduino IDE

Step 1: Connect Your RoboCore Board

Plug your RoboCore board into your computer's USB port using a USB cable.

Step 2: Open Arduino IDE

Launch the Arduino IDE software on your computer.

Step 3: Upload Your IR Remote Code

Make sure your IR remote code is open in Arduino IDE. Click the right arrow (Upload) button at the

top left to compile and upload your code to the board.

Step 4: Open Serial Monitor

Look to the top right corner of Arduino IDE window. Find the magnifying glass icon (usually next to

the baud rate selector). Click that icon.

Step 5: Set Baud Rate to 9600

The Serial Monitor window pops up. In the bottom right corner of the Serial Monitor, there is a

dropdown menu. Click it and select 9600 baud.

Step 6: Test Your IR Remote

Point your RoboCore IR remote at the IR receiver on your board. Press buttons on the remote.

Watch the Serial Monitor window - you should see the IR codes appear as hexadecimal numbers.

If you don't see anything, make sure:

- Your board is connected properly.

- The correct Port is selected in Arduino IDE under Tools > Port.

- The code is uploaded correctly.
