write Value

Write a name:value pair as a line of text to the serial port.

serial.writeValue("x", 0);

A name:value pair is a string that has both a name for a value and the value itself. If you want to send a temperature value of 32 degrees as a name:value pair, it would go to the serial port as this: “temperature:32”. This is a good way to connect a number value to it’s meaning.

So, ||serial:write value|| does this but you give the name and the value as two parts and it sends it as a pair.

Parameters

• name: a string that is the name part of the name:value pair
• value: a number that is the value part of the name:value pair

Example

Send name:value pairs for odd and even numbers to the serial port.

for (let i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
    if (i % 2 > 0) {
        serial.writeValue("odd", i)
    } else {
        serial.writeValue("even", i)
    }
}
