The messages in the terminal window do not match the settings

  1. utf8 where it should read Window1252

  2. help\r where it should read \r\n

Furthermore does it seem that my esp32-s3 board always receives a \n even when i specify \r or \r\n.

We have absolutely zero clue what’s going on there if we don’t see the platformio.ini and the project source code.

Also the “Type in a message to send to the serial prot” makes it seem like you’re using a different Serial Port extension, and not the “Monitor” project task which would launch pyserial / miniterm.

Hi.

Seems to be my error, it seems it’s the Microsoft’s Serial Port Monitor i have issues with (I’ll recreate this issue there).

I have a single issue with the platformio monitor: it defaults to the wrong serial port in my case (got a dev board with two usb serial ports, it defaults to the programming port). But it seems to be configurable in the platformio.ini

Suggestion would be to allow partial usb serial port names instead of COMnn devices as well. That way it would follow the device when it’s plugged into another usb port and might be assigned a new COMnn.
