The first generation of OpenMV cameras is based on STM32 ARM Cortex-M Digital Signal Processors (DSPs) and OmniVision sensors. The boards have built-in RGB and IR LEDs, USB FS support for programming and video streaming, a uSD socket, and I/O headers breaking out PWM, UARTs, SPI, I2C, CAN, and more. Additionally, the OpenMV Cam supports extension modules (shields) using the I/O headers for adding a WiFi adapter, a LCD Display, a Thermal Vision Sensor, a Motor Driver, and more.

If you only need to read `print()` output from a script running on the OpenMV Cam over USB then you only need to open the OpenMV Cam's Virtual COM Port and read lines of text from the serial port. For example (using [pyserial](https://pythonhosted.org/pyserial/index.html)):
- import serial
-
- ser = serial.Serial("COM3", timeout=1, dsrdtr=False)
-
- while True:
- line = ser.readline().strip()
- if line: print(line)

+```Python
+import serial
+ser = serial.Serial("COM3", timeout=1, dsrdtr=False)
+while True:
+ line = ser.readline().strip()
+ if line: print(line)
+```
The above code works for Windows, Mac, or Linux. You just need to change the above port name to the same name of the USB VCP port the OpenMV Cam shows up as (it will be under `/dev/` on Mac or Linux). Note that if you are opening the USB VCP port using another serial library and/or language make sure to set the DTR line to false - otherwise the OpenMV Cam will suppress printed output.
