Hi there, I've been provided an Arduino Nano PCB testing kit that spits out serial monitor data when things like a switch is turned on...or a dial is rotated.
I need to get this serial monitor data into a HTML page so that I can present the data and make it look pretty.
Firstly is this possible? and what is the best way to go about this? I cannot change any code on the Arduino unit itself.
I'm obviously new to this so would appreciate any help.
Cheers guys.
It can certainly be done. What do you plan to use to host the web page?
Thanks for getting back to me, the solution has to be local (not web based) - I can potentially use a local web server such as XAMPP.
Most likely be using jQuery to manipulate the data into something visual.
The Serial Monitor does nothing but display the received characters. I.e. you need a different program for doing something else with your data. I think that Processing will provide a nice environment for building such a task.
What remains isn't really an Arduino problem then. You will need a program in your language of choice that reads from serial, parses that data and probably pushes it to database on your XAMPP server.
It could reside on the server itself or a separate PC if that's preferred.
