I am new to Arduino. I have a LCD screen connected to my microcontroller, and am trying to output the same things that are being outputted to the LCD screen to a text file. I looked online and have used different software to try and output to a text file, the problem is that I have a weird formatting in my code (for outputting to the LCD Screen) which makes it near impossible to understand what the actual data values are. I was wondering if anyone knew how I could export the unformatted data to a text or excel file (without software)? Thanks for your suggestions!

I don't know what different "software" you are talking about.
But when using an Arduino writing to a text file on a SD card is quite common topic.
Google it.
You really should learn how to think through a problem, instead of coming here with flimsy questions.
yousimxing:
I should have stated that I am using a MakeBlock Orion, which does not support SD cards. Other software includes, CoolTerm, Realterm, and PLX-DAQ.
I think you are throwing darts and hoping something will stick.
I have no idea why you think those software will help you.
Buy a book and start from the beginning. Your posts show that you are aimless.
First of all, go fix your code. If you have "weird formatting" in your code that makes it hard "to understand what the actual data values are" you're doing something terribly wrong there and then. Any further pursuits are useless until you fix this.
When you understand what your data is, it's going to be quite trivial to write it to a file (that is, assuming you have something connected to your Arduino or whatever processor you use that can actually be used to store a file).
Actually, maybe you should ditch the Orion and go for something that works, like an Arduino. I just read the info given at what appears to be the Makeblock web shop, and the quality of the text is terrible. Doesn't make me confident of the quality of their product.
