I am working on a project and I get vast amount of Serial monitor data. I need to analyze it, so I better use some tools.
My plan is simple: storage whole data to excel and analyse it by excel support.
However, to do that, I need to put the data to excel.
I made some short research and concluded to 2 options.
Learn "Processing", convert the code to this language and add necessary codes to storage data.
Use some programs which storages serial monitor data directly.
I tend to prefer the second option because I won't need to learn another language and I won't need to disturb my code. However, I don't know the advantages and disadvantages of both options.
Should I really prefer the second option or does using "processing" a better option for something that I am realize yet?
And, If I prefer second option, which program you would you suggest?
(except Twedge, I need more than 90 days and I can't afford paying a program)
Thanks
You do not identify your PC OS ... but generally most Serial Communication programs can log to a file. Why, oh why, the ArduinoIDE does not is beyond me, but it is Open Source so I am not going to complain because someone will just tell me to add the write-to-file log code :o
You can also do it by redirecting the serial port to a file if you are into that command-line stuff.
Any good free terminal emulator like PuTTY or even HyperTerminal on Windoze will allow you to send and write files. Don't use serial monitor, use a terminal program.
