Hi guys. I am trying to read the values coming from the serial monitor in Excel using the Data Streamer Add in. However, nothing happens when I click Start Data. I am using the code shown below in the Arduino IDE. The Arduino is connected to a potentiometer and the relevant values are displayed in the Serial Monitor.
void setup() {
// initialize serial communication at 9600 bits per second:
Serial.begin(9600);
}
// the loop routine runs over and over again forever:
void loop() {
// read the input on analog pin 0:
float sensorValue = analogRead(A0);
// print out the value you read:
Serial.println(sensorValue);
delay(1000); // delay in between reads for stability
}
Whenever I run this code and click Start Data, nothing happens. I select the same COM PORT that is shown in the Arduino IDE.
Hello @harveyspec33 ,
If your data is correctly displayed in Serial Monitor, then your problem isn´t related to your code.
I have some clues, both of them as generic as the problem:
Data Streamer also needs to be configured to 9600 baud rate. Did you do it?
Also, Streamer will not work if the the serial monitor is turned on. Shut off the Serial Monitor and try again.
I had set the baud rate as 9600 in both Data Streamer, the code and in the serial monitor.
So I saw the serial monitor statement somewhere before so I would run the code and then hit Start Data without opening the serial monitor. But it wasn't working as well.
