How to use Serial Monitor without Arduino board?

Yes that is possible. Connect to the RX/TX pins on the breadboard chip. Remember these are 5V. You will need an Serial-USB or RS232 adapter to connect your development machine. Please see this blog post for some inspiration.

Cheers!

  • Don't forget to also connect GND. Commented Aug 23, 2016 at 18:42
  • I stripped a USB cable and connected its green wire to RX and white wire to TX and red/black to supply pins of atmega8. But my PC is not detecting anything. (Atmega8 contains a arduino bootloader burnt using AVRDUDE and a basic analog to serial program. Please suggest where I am wrong. Commented Aug 24, 2016 at 5:38
