Learn Programming and Electronics with Arduino

In many cases while using an Arduino, you will want to see the data being generated by the Arduino. One common method of doing this is using the Serial.print() function from the Serial library to display information to your computer’s monitor.

In this week’s episode we will talk about the intricacies of the Serial.print() function. This is the second part of a two part series on the Serial.print() function (Click here for the first part).

Here are the exact topics we will cover in this lesson:

• Adjusting the number of digits to be displayed after the decimal point with the Serial.print() function.
