Exporting the data received from the Serial Monitor

Hi all,

I'm really struggling on a project. I'm tasked with analysing the IMU data I receive through the Serial Monitor on the Arduino, and desperately cannot find the right method to export and record the data into a .txt file or maybe even a excel file?? Any help would be great thanks!!

You can't save the data that appears on the Serial Monitor. However other terminal programs such as PuTTY and RealTerm do have the facility to save the data to a file.

Besides using the logging ability of Putty and RealTerm, one option is to write data to a text file on SD card on a SD card shield placed on the Uno.

I was building a digital measuring board that I needed to save a mess of data.
I purchased these SDHC Mini TF Card Adapter Readers

You can write directly to them when you insert a chip. I purchased a 32G chip cheap.

Or you could use a program like processing to read the serial data and save it as a file on your PC.

My issue was the Arduino would have to be mobile, so I opted to use on board data.
