solo: Monitor the serial output of a Solo.
$ solo monitor ${path-to-serial_port}
try on your machine

The command "solo monitor ${path-to-serial_port}" is used to monitor the data communication happening on a specified serial port.

Here's an explanation of each component of the command:

  • "solo monitor": This is the actual command that is executed. It instructs the computer to start monitoring the serial port.

  • "${path-to-serial_port}": This part should be replaced with the actual path to the serial port you want to monitor. The path depends on the operating system you are using. On Linux, it is usually something like "/dev/ttyUSB0", while on Windows it might be "COM1".

When you run this command, the computer starts listening to the specified serial port and displays any incoming or outgoing data. This can be useful for debugging purposes, as it allows you to see the raw data being transmitted through the serial port in real-time.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
