Platformio serial monitor output error. I thought it was the FTDI or cable connection. But after changing FTDI, cable and USB port, the problem persists. Then I tried using another serial monitor, it works fine.
I can’t see an error here.
If it is about the Ansii Color coding you need to set monitor_filters = direct in your platformio.ini
I already set it to direct. As you can see, the first 2 lines output color correctly. This is my filter settings:
monitor_filters =
direct
send_on_enter
esp32_exception_decoder
Looks like many packets lost. Like this line:
[ 303][I][src/espnow.cpp:53] onESPNOWRecv(): add new server
in platformio serial monitor only show:
erver
Anyone knows why Platformio serial monitor can’t read properly, while other serial monitor can?
There’s something strange going on with your serial monitor. Usually you should see some lines like this before the content comming from the serial monitor:
* Executing task: C:\Users\boris\.platformio\penv\Scripts\platformio.exe device monitor --environment esp32dev
--- Terminal on COM3 | 115200 8-N-1
--- Available filters and text transformations: colorize, debug, default, direct, esp32_exception_decoder, hexlify, log2file, nocontrol, printable, send_on_enter, time
--- More details at https://bit.ly/pio-monitor-filters
--- Quit: Ctrl+C | Menu: Ctrl+T | Help: Ctrl+T followed by Ctrl+H
Which PlatformIO version, do you use? What is the content of your platformio.ini?
Even better: Plese share a minimal reproducible example.
Serial monitor did output line -- Terminal on COM3 … etc. It just that in the screenshot, I reset the ESP and the lines are scrolled out.
I use the latest PlatformIO v3.3.4. I tried with minimal example:
[env:esp32dev]
platform = https://github.com/pioarduino/platform-espressif32/releases/download/stable/platform-espressif32.zip
board = esp32dev
framework = arduino
board_build.f_cpu = 240000000L
board_build.f_flash = 80000000L
board_build.filesystem = littlefs
upload_protocol = esptool
upload_port = COM3
upload_speed = 921600
monitor_port = COM3
monitor_speed = 115200
monitor_filters =
direct
send_on_enter
esp32_exception_decoder
lib_deps =
#include <Arduino.h>
void setup() {
Serial.begin(115200, SERIAL_8N1, 3, 1);
Serial.println("\nSTART");
}
void loop() {
delay(1000);
Serial.println("Hello world!");
}

The indentation of these lines are wrong.
monitor_filters =
direct
send_on_enter
esp32_exception_decoder
It looks like the indentation stripped out in reply. My code main.cpp indentation also stripped out. It actually has indentation. Edited my previous reply.
I’m unable to reproduce your error. My output is absolutely fine:

Do you use PlatformIO IDE or do you use PIOARDUINO IDE?
What are the version numbers of the IDE and the Core?
→ IDE Version: Quick Access / Miscelleaneous / Show Release Notes
→ Core Version: Open a pio-termial and enter pio --version
Which exact pioarduino espressif32-platform do you use?
→ Will be shown in the PLATFORM section during building a project:

The issue is caused by the esp32_exeption_decoder included in pioarduino espressif32-platform version 3.3.8. Please see the issue link above for further details.
Possible solutions:
Thanks. Will wait for the fix.
