Arduino UNO & Genuino UNO Arduino Uno is the ideal board for getting started with electronics, through fun and engaging hands-on projects. This board is your entry to the unique Arduino experience: great for learning the basics of how sensors and actuators work, and an essential tool for your rapid prototyping needs. You will see Arduino Written - Look for its COM PORT (close device manager) Go to Arduino Environment- Tools- Serial Port- Select the COM PORT as mentioned in PORT in device manager. (If you are using any other Arduino Board instead of UNO then select the same in boards ) Upload your killer programmes and see them work.
Arduino Uno Serial Pins
Arduino to ESP8266 By Serial Communication. The wiring is very similar to the FTDI. Arduino pin 3 to voltage divider and then to ESP8266 RX Arduino pin 2 to ESP8266 TX Arduino GND to ESP8266 GND Pull CHPD HIGH with a 10K resistor to +3.3v +3.3V to vcc You only need the voltage divider on the Arduino TX pin. Since this tutorial uses RS-485, it is recommended to first go through RS485 Serial Communication between Arduino Uno and Arduino Nano. RS485 can also be used with other controllers for serial communication: RS-485 Serial Communication between Raspberry Pi & Arduino UNO; Serial Communication Between STM32F103C8 and Arduino UNO using RS-485.

I'm using an Arduino Micro. When I use 'Serial.write' etc with the Arduino's IDE serial monitor everything is working fine.
However when I try to read or send data via 'Serial1', I get nothing. 'Serial1' is suppose to use 0 and 1 RX,TX respectively.
Do I need to connect these pins through a USB converter or are they connected on the boards USB converter?
Here is the code:

The only serial port connected to the USB that the serial monitor can read from is Serial.
Serial1, Serial2, and Serial3 are all logic level serial and will not show up on the Arduino serial monitor.
If you want to see the output from these on your computer,it will require extra hardware.

Serial is the only serial port connected to USB. So serial monitor can access only that port. If you need Serial1 or Serial2 to be accessed by serial monitor, then you should use 'USB to TTL Serial Cable' and connect this to RX and TX pins of the arduino's Serial1 port.Please visit link for USB to TTL Serial Cable, enter link description here

'Serial1' in Arduino Micro is Physically connected to TX and RX pins (TTL), 'Serial' is just a 'virtual port' which you can read using Arduino IDE's Serial Monitor, thats why arduino micro is little different from another such as nano or pro mini.
if you use Serial and Serial1 you can aproach this advantage and upload code using USB and make a connection thought bluetooth (using HC06 connected to physical pins) without disconnect the USB cable and powered both devices (micro and bluetooth).
If you can't upload code to your micro sometimes, press micro's reset button then release it and press upload button in Arduino IDE's.'virtual port' sometimes needs to restart and connect using USB.
This is from Arduino's Documentation Website:
Install it once, in one place on the server,and then you can instantlylaunch client screens to just about any device. You can download it for yourself right.What can Ignition connect to?Ignition connects seamlessly to any SQL database and to practically any PLC throughthird-party OPC servers and itsbuilt-in OPC UA.

'..Serial: 0 (RX) and 1 (TX). Used to receive (RX) and transmit (TX) TTL serial data using the ATmega32U4 hardware serial capability. Note that on the Micro, the Serial class refers to USB (CDC) communication; for TTL serial on pins 0 and 1, use the Serial1 class. '

You said it right, Serial1 is the RX and TX pin, while Serial is a virtual interface between computer and Arduino. I have used the TX and RX pins for a wireless module, and if you NEED to use Serial1, it would have to occupy pins 0 and 1, and switch from DLINE to UART on your board.

Open serial monitor with the icon placed in right corner of Arduino IDE. It will be available if you connect the Arduino with PC.

When you open the Arduino IDE write this code block
Select the arduino 9600 port and write something. If you get your written text your arduino is ready from serial comminicate.

Make sure you go to tool/board: and select Arduino Mega (or other board with multiply serial ports) or it won't work, because the Uno only has one Serial communication port (aka The TX and RX pins on pins on 1 and 0)! Write 1,2 or 3 depending on what TX and RX pins you are using on the Board. The mega has a whole set of extra pins for Serial 1,2 and 3, for example:

You have to define Serial1 by using SoftwareSerial class from SoftwareSerial library ,Google and download the library :
the code should be something like this :

Serial1
is the wrong class for pin 0 and pin 1. You should use Serial
class.Do I need to connect these pins through a USB converter or are they connected on the boards USB converter?
It makes no difference for Serial class.

Arduino Uno Serial Pins
You can use the Arduino environment’s built-in serial monitor to communicate with an Arduino board. Click the serial monitor button in the toolbar and select the same baud rate used in the call to

.Arduino Uno Serial Port
Serial communication on pins TX/RX uses TTL logic levels (5V or 3.3V depending on the board). Don’t connect these pins directly to an RS232 serial port; they operate at +/- 12V and can damage your Arduino board.
To use these extra serial ports to communicate with your personal computer, you will need an additional USB-to-serial adaptor, as they are not connected to the Mega’s USB-to-serial adaptor. To use them to communicate with an external TTL serial device, connect the TX pin to your device’s RX pin, the RX to your device’s TX pin, and the ground of your Mega to your device’s ground.
