11  * \brief In- and output using a serial console
12  *
13  * This adds the ability to print and read from a connected serial console (via USB).
14  * You can use the primitives supplied by this module or even printf and scanf.
15  *
16  * In Atmel Studio 7 select Menu "Tools" and choose "Data Visualizer".
17  * Click on sidebar "Configuration"
18  * In frame "Modules" expand "External Connection" and select "Serial Port"
19  * Configure "Serial Port Control Panel":
20  * - choose the correct interface (something like "mEDBG Virtual COM Port (COM4)"
21  * - set the "Baud rate" to the same value as the "BAUD_RATE" macro (by default 38400)
22  * - choose correct "Parity" (default "disabled") and "Stop bits" (default "1")
23  * - check "DTR" and "Open Terminal" (and "RTS" on slow systems)
24  * Click "Connect"
25  *
26  * In Linux you can try to connect to the console using the libspicboard make target "console":
27  *
28  * \warning Cannot be used in conjunction with any other serial communication (including \ref COM )
29  *
30  * \warning Using printf/scanf (and derived functions) will consume a noticeable amount of flash memory!
