Question about the programming serial port
Sorry if this is a stupid question, I tried searching but couldnt find a definitive answer.
Why is it that when connected to the onboard serial port, I can't get any data (not even garbled) in a terminal program?· I read about the Excel program,· but I don't want/can't use·that.· I just want it to spit out data.· I'm just curious if I'm missing a step or if it just won't work period?
Thanks.

Takes a reading from the Accelerometer every 200ms, and sends this info to the Debug window. I send my info using the DEBUG command, and I was hoping I could catch that info in a terminal program, such as procomm or hyperterminal. I've set up my com settings same way as the debug settings. 9600 n 8 1, I've tried no flow, hardware & software. Even if this was wrong, I should still see some garbled info coming across, correct? I don't even see anything in the activity window of procomm.
So what I want to figure out, is there a difference between how the editor sees this info compared to a reg terminal app?

good for hyperterminal at 9600
