Python has a module called pyserial, which is also easy great.Įither language will give you much greater control over console output, should you choose to proceed this way. NET's serialport class which is a pleasure to use. The external program can then display this information in whatever way you'd like, a nice console output would be relatively easy to achieve :-)Ĭ# has. The external program would then keep these values (1 for each sensor). Your Arduino program will need to send a message your external program can unambiguously interpret, something like 1=0.5 where 1 = sensor ID and 0.5 = sensor value.
Then concatenate the values together (including separators if it makes the data easier to read)Īn output of something similar to this is what i'm hinting at: | 1.0 | 1.1 | 1.2 | 1.3 | 1.4 | 1.5 | 1.6 | 1.7 | 1.8 |Īll things considered, this isn't a great solution but it would get you a result.Ī far smarter idea is to build another program outside of Arduino and it's IDE that listens to the com port for sensor values sent from the Arduino.
#Arduino code language print to console serial#
To accomplish a fixed width string that's suitable for serial println() you'll need functions to convert your sensor values to strings, as well as pad/trim them to a persistent size. You could also shrink the height of the window to make it look like it only has one line. The Arduino IDE's Serial Monitor's Autoscroll checkbox means if you persistently send the fixed width string (with 500ms delay perhaps) this will give the impression that it's updating once it gets to the bottom and starts scrolling.
I can think of a couple of options, the simplest (and cheatiest) is to use println() with a fixed width string that you've generated that contains your sensor data. There are two ways: lcd.print(data) lcd.print(data, BASE) Parameters lcd: a variable of type LiquidCrystal data: the data to print (char, byte, int, long, or string) BASE: (optional) the base in which to print numbers: BIN for binary (base 2), DEC for decimal (base 10), OCT for octal (base 8), HEX for hexadecimal (base 16). It's not possible to clear the Serial Monitor window based on incoming serial data.
