• new_line – Move the Console cursor position at the start of the next row down.

• clear – Clear all text from the Console.

Mutators – Change the text color in the Console.

• set_print_color – Set the color text will display in for the Console.

Monitor – Monitor a sensor’s or variable’s value during a project in VEXcode’s Monitor tab.

• monitor_sensor – Add a sensor to the Monitor tab.

• monitor_variable – Add a predefined variable to the Monitor tab.
