Arduino Uno USB Serial

Post by gavo4 »

Hi All,

I have come across an issue on the Arduino Uno, for some reason the USB Serial does not work.

I have used the USB_Serial1 component and I have also:

* Initialised the USB
* I then used the USB Serial Send String

When I run the flowchart simulation I see the USB Serial component showing a green arrow on/off to show the data is been sent, however I can't see the data in serial monitor in Arduino or TeraTerm. One of the questions I wanted to ask is how do you set the Baud-rate?, is there perhaps a default baud rate which is used by the component?

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Regards,

Gavo

The Arduino UNO has no USB integrated into the controller but uses a uart port to drive a serial to USB chip on the board.
So you need to use a serial (uart) component, not the USB component.
