SoftwareSerial: println(data)

Description

Prints data to the transmit pin of the software serial port, followed by a carriage return and line feed. Works the same as the Serial.println() function.

Parameters

vary, see Serial.println() for details

Returns

none

Example

SoftwareSerial serial(6, 7);
int analogValue;

void setup()
{
  serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop()
{
  // read the analog input on pin 0:
  analogValue = analogRead(0);

  // print it out in many formats:
  serial.print(analogValue);         // print as an ASCII-encoded decimal
  serial.print("\t");                // print a tab character
  serial.print(analogValue, DEC);    // print as an ASCII-encoded decimal
  serial.print("\t");                // print a tab character
  serial.print(analogValue, HEX);    // print as an ASCII-encoded hexadecimal
  serial.print("\t");                // print a tab character
  serial.print(analogValue, OCT);    // print as an ASCII-encoded octal
  serial.print("\t");                // print a tab character
  serial.print(analogValue, BIN);    // print as an ASCII-encoded binary
  serial.print("\t");                // print a tab character
  serial.print(analogValue/4, BYTE); // print as a raw byte value (divide the
                                     // value by 4 because analogRead() returns numbers
                                     // from 0 to 1023, but a byte can only hold values
                                     // up to 255)
  serial.print("\t");                // print a tab character    
  serial.println();                  // print a linefeed character

  // delay 10 milliseconds before the next reading:
  delay(10);
