Serial.println()
Description
Prints data to the serial port as human-readable ASCII text followed by a carriage return character (ASCII 13, or '\r') and a newline character (ASCII 10, or '\n').
Serial.println() is the same as Serial.print(), except for one thing: Serial.println() prints '\r' and '\n' character at the end while Serial.print() does not.
Syntax
Serial.println(val)
Serial.println(val, format)
Parameter Values
- Serial: serial port object. See the list of available serial ports for each board on the Serial main page.
- val: the value to print. Allowed data types: any data type.
- format: (optional) specifies:
- The base (format) to be printed for integral data types (byte, char, int, long, short, unsigned char, unsigned int, unsigned long, word). The permitted values are:
- BIN: binary, or base 2
- OCT: octal, or base 8
- DEC: decimal, or base 10
- HEX: hexadecimal, or base 16
Return Values
- println() returns the number of bytes written, though reading that number is optional. Data type: size_t.
Example Code
void setup() {
// open the serial port at 9600 bps:
Serial.begin(9600);
// print a character
Serial.println('N');
// print a string
Serial.println(); // print an empty line
Serial.println("ArduinoGetStarted.com");
// print a float number
float a = 1.23456;
Serial.println(); // print an empty line
Serial.println(a); // 2 decimal places by default
Serial.println(a, 4); // 4 decimal places
Serial.println(a, 5); // 5 decimal places
Serial.println(a, 6); // 6 decimal places
// print an interger number out in many formats:
int x = 77;
Serial.println(); // print an empty line
Serial.println(x); // print as an ASCII-encoded decimal by default
Serial.println(x, DEC); // print as an ASCII-encoded decimal
Serial.println(x, HEX); // print as an ASCII-encoded hexadecimal
Serial.println(x, OCT); // print as an ASCII-encoded octal
Serial.println(x, BIN); // print as an ASCII-encoded binary
}
void loop() {
}

※ NOTES AND WARNINGS:
- For information on the asyncronicity of Serial.println(), see the Notes and Warnings section of the Serial.write() reference page.
- Serial functions are not only used for the communication between an Arduino board and Serial Monitor of Arduino IDE but also used for the communication between:
- An Arduino board and other Arduino board
- An Arduino board and other sensors/devices
- An Arduino board and computer (any Serial software on computer)
