pio-device: Start an interactive device monitor and set a specific baud rate (defaults to 9600).
$ pio device monitor --baud ${57600}
try on your machine

This command is used in the PlatformIO (PIO) development platform to monitor the output from a connected device.

Here's the breakdown of the command:

  • pio device monitor is the main command used to start the device monitoring process.
  • --baud is an optional flag that specifies the baud rate at which the monitor should communicate with the device. Baud rate determines the speed at which data is transmitted between the device and the computer. In this case, the baud rate is set to ${57600}.
    • ${57600} is a value indicating the baud rate. This syntax ${} is typically used in command-line interfaces to represent a variable or placeholder that should be replaced with an actual value. In this case, it should be replaced with the specific baud rate if desired.

So, when this command is executed, it will start monitoring the output from a connected device, with a baud rate of 57600.
