write Line

Write a line of text to the serial port.

serial.writeLine("");

A line of text is string that has two special characters added at the end: carriage return and line feed. These characters are really just codes that mean start a new line. Sometimes they appear in code as "\r\n".

After using a ||serial:write line||, any new text written to the serial port will begin on a new line.

With ||serial:write line||, the new line characters are automatically added for you. You only need to give the text you want to write.

Parameters

  • text: the string to write to the serial port

Example

Write two greeting messages to the serial port.

serial.writeLine("How are you today?");
pause(5000);
serial.writeLine("Well that's great! I'm doing well too.");
