How to view serial monitor in Eclipse?
Posted: Sun Jan 05, 2020 1:48 am
I have an ESP32 project in Eclipse, with a "flash" Build Target.
If I right-click the 'flash' build target, it successfully builds and deploys to the ESP32.
If I subsequently launch 'make monitor' in MinGW32, it displays the output.
HOWEVER... if I try to do the same thing while 'make monitor' is ALREADY running, I get an error (because the serial port is already in use).
Is there some way to open a serial monitor window in Eclipse itself that knows enough to close and release its serial connection and get out of the way while I'm running Build->flash, then automatically re-establish the connection when it's finished?
