Documentation

Welcome to the Antigravity Serial Monitor documentation. This guide covers installation, board selection, serial monitoring, ESP32 maintenance, and desktop flash workflows.

1. Installation

Antigravity Serial Monitor ships desktop installers for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Download the latest build from the download page.

Windows

1. Download the latest .exe installer.
2. Run the installer and follow the prompts.
3. Ensure you have the drivers (CP210x, CH340) installed for your specific board.

MacOS

1. Download the .dmg file.
2. Drag Antigravity Serial Monitor to your Applications folder.
3. If prompted about security, go to System Settings > Privacy & Security to allow the app.

2. Getting Started

Choose a Board Profile

Use the toolbar board selector to pick your hardware (ESP32, Arduino, STM32, RP2040, etc.). Tabs unlock based on what that board supports.

Connect over USB Serial

Plug in your board and click Connect.
Pick the correct COM/USB port when prompted.
Select a baud rate — board profiles suggest sensible defaults.

Serial Console & Plotter

Open the Console tab for live UART output, filters, macros, and log export.
Open the Plotter tab to chart numeric or key=value lines from the stream.

ESP32 Maintenance (Espressif boards)

Flash — backup, erase, flash presets, and region-scoped operations.
Partitions — visualize and inspect the flash layout.
File Storage — browse SPIFFS, LittleFS, or FATFS when present.
NVS — inspect non-volatile key/value storage.

Desktop Flash Tools (AVR, STM32, RP2040, …)

Non-Espressif profiles use external tools such as avrdude or bossac from the desktop app. Use Reconnect after flash to return to monitoring quickly.
