From c02a279f0ae89c21392c6099892693aaadbb2a35 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: per1234 Date: Tue, 29 Nov 2022 18:52:37 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Remove outdated info re: Serial Monitor send trigger in IDE 2.x In previous versions of Arduino IDE 2.x, the keyboard shortcut used to trigger the sending of a message from Serial Monitor to the board was Ctrl+Enter. Since this was different from the shortcut used by Arduino IDE 1.x, and user reports indicated this was a significant source of confusion, a note was added to the Arduino IDE 2.x Serial Monitor tutorial about the change. The keyboard shortcut was changed to Enter in the Arduino IDE 2.0.1 release, making the tutorial's information about the changed shortcut obsolete. For this reason, it is hereby removed. The removed section also documented an additional change to Serial Monitor: the loss of the "Send" button, which is still the case. The primary purpose for adding the section was to document the keyboard shortcut change and my impression is that there is no need to mention the removal of the button now that there is an intuitive keyboard shortcut for sending the message. --- .../tutorials/ide-v2-serial-monitor/ide-v2-serial-monitor.md | 4 ---- 1 file changed, 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/content/software/ide-v2/tutorials/ide-v2-serial-monitor/ide-v2-serial-monitor.md b/content/software/ide-v2/tutorials/ide-v2-serial-monitor/ide-v2-serial-monitor.md index 183d86023d..a9b848e8dd 100644 --- a/content/software/ide-v2/tutorials/ide-v2-serial-monitor/ide-v2-serial-monitor.md +++ b/content/software/ide-v2/tutorials/ide-v2-serial-monitor/ide-v2-serial-monitor.md @@ -44,10 +44,6 @@ A major advantage with having the Serial Monitor integrated with the editor is t You will find an example with more information on how to use this feature, further down this tutorial under the **Using multiple Serial Monitors simultaneously** section. -### Different Send Trigger - -In the Arduino IDE 1.x Serial Monitor, data can be sent to the board by entering it in the field at the top of the window and then clicking the **Send** button or pressing the **Enter** key.

To use it is really easy, but there are some things that we need to do first.
