Hi, is there a possibility of seeing console output when using UIflow via wifi. This would be important as output is essential for debugging.
Thanks

How do we send information from our code to the console, i.e. to print debug messages?

Sorry if it's a very noob question but I haven't figured the block to use.

I can se the console in Chrome, but can't figure how to send data to it.

When using the UIFlow Desktop-IDE , serial connection is available using the USB connection.

In my opinion, it's a bad idea to stop supporting the Uiflow-Dekstop IDE as it helps debugging the applications more efficiently as using the web version.

These are all in the "advanced" section:

  • "Socket": Looks like it supports UDP but not TCP. That would be your best option if you could deal with an occasional dropped packet.
  • "HTTP": Is is a client only, but you could pass information in custom HTTP headers, or in the request itself.
  • "MQTT: Never used it, but this is a protocol for IoT device to exchange messages with a central server, maybe one you set up yourself.

Good luck!

Thanks for your advice, any idea on how to implement the socket to do everything via wifi?

When I click on COM it only gives the possibility of chosing /dev/ttyUSB0 or similar and on clue of a console ouput.
As for the socket where do you have to implement that? can you please provide more details and mention if you have evidence that this has been done successfully?
Thanks

I don't know how to write to it, however. I would first give Serial a try. You'll need to guess your baud rate first.

As far as using Wifi is concerned, I suspect the way to to create a socket and read/write to it.
