Installation

VS Code Extension​

Install Serial Monitor Pro from the VS Code Marketplace:

  1. Open VS Code.
  2. Open the Extensions panel (Ctrl+Shift+X / Cmd+Shift+X).
  3. Search for Serial Monitor Pro.
  4. Click Install.

Or install directly from the command line:

code --install-extension serial-monitor-pro.vscode-serial-monitor-pro

SoX — Audio Recording (Optional)​

Audio recording requires SoX to be installed on your system. The extension works without it — audio recording is simply disabled and a warning is shown.

macOS​

brew install sox

Linux (Debian / Ubuntu)​

sudo apt install sox

Windows​

choco install sox.portable
tip

If SoX is not installed, Serial Monitor Pro will display a warning when you attempt to record but will continue to work normally for serial monitoring.
