Hello all, when doing a serial print in the WebIDE is there a way to get to print to the dashboard console in the particle cloud or do I need USB hooked up to see the serial print?
You can use Particle.publish to publish an event to the particle cloud. This can be viewed in the dashboard console.
Yes. You can see the serial print in Particle CLI or any compatible serial program. You can do the following with Particle CLI to view the serial print:
particle serial monitor
You can also use the logging features instead of serial.print. using the papertrail integration, you could send all print/debugging information to the service which would then be visible in an online log viewer. The free tier has a 7 day retention IIRC.
