Because you want to be able to modify it (and you can - B4J ! ), see this example of use https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/hb100-rf-sensor.73817/#post-470132. Upvote 0

Click to expand... Yes this is very powerful usage. But one don't prevent the other. You can use a "modified" version if you like or write your own B4J app. But I still believe this is not a good reason for not being a part of B4R. When you use arduino IDE you can open the terminal rigth from itself. No need to use an external program. Upvote 0

Erel B4X founder Staff member Licensed User Longtime User Aug 13, 2017 #4 There is a built-in logger in B4R IDE. You don't need to use the external serial connector. Upvote 0
