Redirect To USB
The redirectToUSB function allows users to direct the serial input and output of the micro:bit to use the USB connection. This is particularly useful when the micro:bit is set to use the USB connection for serial data by default. If serial data is currently redirected to the pins, this function can revert it back to USB.
Key Features:
- Default USB Connection: The micro:bit is configured to use USB for serial communication by default.
- Revert Serial Redirection: Easily switch back to USB if the serial data has been redirected to other pins.
- Simple Command: Use the command
serial.redirectToUSB()to implement this functionality.
Use Cases:
- Educational Projects: Ideal for students learning about serial communication and microcontroller programming.
- Debugging: Useful for developers who need to monitor serial output via USB during development.
