Serial data - Clear terminal Window

Projects Programming
1

Hi,

I am looking to display a series of variables via serial, but due to the nature of the terminals data just gets overlappe and it is impossible to organize.

So the question is, how can i print the data and clear the window again? This way the window would just be refreshed with new data that I could organize as I would do on an LCD.

Any ideas?

Don't use the Serial Monitor, use a proper terminal emulator, like PuTTY and embed the appropriate escape control sequences.

AWOL:
...and embed the appropriate escape control sequences.

Can you clarify on this?

Can you clarify on this?

Sure. As soon as you define what serial monitor application you are going to be using, in what mode (VT50? VT100? VT200?).

I fixed and wrote a lot of business apps that ran on ANSI terminals and emulators, 1980 up to 1993.
The usual screen clear was Form Feed, ASCII 12, np (new page), '\f'.

Generally you have cursor control and sometimes scrolling.
