Log2file not working for me (esp32)

#1

Hi, first day using PlatformIO on VSCode. I want to log some readings from an ADC. I was using esp-idf monitor for that, I could redirect the printf output to a text file. I tried on platformIO to set the log2file filter in my platformio.ini. But I just get an empty .log file. Here is my .ini file:

[env:az-delivery-devkit-v4]
platform = espressif32
board = az-delivery-devkit-v4
framework = espidf
monitor_speed = 115200
monitor_flags = --raw
monitor_filters = log2file, debug

And my code use simple printf statements like:

dac_out_value = dac_out_value + 1;
printf("%d,", dac_out_value);
dac_output_voltage(DAC_CHANNEL_1, dac_out_value);
read_raw = adc1_get_raw(ADC1_CHANNEL_0);
printf("%d\n", read_raw);

How can I solve this and log the voltages to a file?

You are using the monitor flag --raw, which will instruct the device monitor to skip all filtering and processing, including the log2file filter. Remove the flag and the filter should work again.

this worked for me. remove (monitor_flags = --raw) and the log already saves what is in the terminal
