Under windows you have to enable your console (cmd.exe or powershell) to be able to display those ANSI codes with a setting. One way to do this is by creating or setting the registry key VirtualTerminalLevel (DWORD) at [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Console] to value 1.
See: Colored text output in PowerShell console using ANSI / VT100 codes
After that you can call the monitor with pio device monitor --raw and the coloring should work.
Has anyone tried, just for fun, to say monitor_port = --raw /dev/ttyACM0 ? If it’s just a copy-paste thing from this option line, that might actually construct the correct command string…
I have just tried that unsuccessfully in a few different combinations with different options (monitor-speed, monitor-port, etc.). When PIO parses the ini-file it always catches those “injection” attempts. could not open port '--raw COM3': could not open port '--raw COM3':
or ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '--raw'
Hello!
I was glad when I found out about the support for displaying colored text on the monitor.
Followed the recommendation above (I have Windows 10) created key the VirtualTerminalLevel (DWORD) at [HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Console] with a value of 1.
Inserted to platformio.ini:
monitor_flags=
--echo
--raw
Rebooted the system. To when I activate the monitor, I see this:
> Executing task: C:\Users\Alexander\.platformio\penv\Scripts\platformio.exe device monitor <
Looking for advanced Serial Monitor with UI? Check http://bit.ly/pio-advanced-monitor
I haven’t tried setting the flags via monitor_flags yet, but why do you have listed --echo there? It also seems kinda weird to me, that the executed command doesn’t show the additional flags.
My English is only through Google translator. Please explain what do you mean?
What data still needs to be provided to prove that when the “ONLY MONITOR” is activated, it does not work properly (even if all the monitor flags are turned off).
What exactly is the environment you are using this in? Are you using VSCode? What are you doing exactly, when you say
and
?
I can’t reproduce this error using VSCode + PIO IDE. Manually starting the monitor with pio device monitor --raw results in the same output as launching the Serial Monitor with the “PlatformIO: Serial Monitor” button at the bottom of the VSCode window with monitor_flags beeing set to --raw.
. Then let’s wait how
