Logging where?

[CydiaBoss]

Hello, I am wondering how to access the logging. I am having trouble connecting to a device and I would like to figure out why that is happening. Thanks :D

You need to set the log level with this macro:

NimBLE-Arduino/src/nimconfig.h

Line 79 in de03239

/** @brief Un-comment to set the debug log messages level from the NimBLE CPP Wrapper.\n

How do I access the logs after this? Do they get printed to Serial? Do I need to use a debug tool? Sorry, I'm not really familiar with working with ESP32 development.

[h2zero]

Yes, the logs are printed to Serial

[CydiaBoss]

Are you suppose to enable them somewhere else? Because I do not see them in my Serial Monitor. I only see my own print statements.

Oh wait, do I need an external debugger device (like JTag) just to be able to see the debug messages? If so, is there anyway to see the messages without using another device?

Typically through the uart, the same interface you're using to program the esp32 if you're using a devkit

I see, I was able to figure it out via the following:

Thank you so much!
