Apart from the Arduino IDE, we can also access the serial monitor in other IDEs like Atom or VS Code. If an IDE is not available, the screen command on the terminal or Cool Term app can also be used. Finally, for some automation on a Linux machine, the commands stty and cat can be handy to view the serial monitor!
