serial monitor print width

Using Arduino Programming Questions
#1

Hi I am printing to the serial monitor up to 8 groups of numbers with 2 spaces as separators. The numbers can have up to 4 digits plus a decimal point. a max of 54 character spaces. The result is always 2 lines and I want 1 line. How do I do this? I am using Serial.print on the 1.0.5 IDE

#2

The result is always 2 lines and I want 1 line.

Why? If you don't want a carriage return and line feed, don't send them.

How do I do this?

Correctly. That sometimes involves posting your code, so we can replicate your results/see what you see/find problems. Or not. Your choice.

#3

I am data logging from a number of sensors and then graphing using Excel. I need each line or chain of results to be a single line to make the graph straight forward.

#4

I need each line or chain of results to be a single line to make the graph straight forward.

So? Fix your code. We can't help, because we can't see your code.

There is more code after this presumably, as neither the while or loop are closed out.
Post the rest, use code tags (the # button).

The last line is sending a carriage return

Serial.println( payload.room_temperature1,0);

Why aren't these declared once in pre-setup code, vs everytime in loop?
unsigned long ms;
float counter;
float room_temperature;
float humidity;
float counter1;
float room_temperature1;
float humidity1;
float humidity2;

Here is the whole programme. I don’t understand why when I declare the names in the payload structure I have to re declare it. So rather than find out I put it where it now is and it worked. I should add I generated names for the data as a trial as currently I am only reading 4 sensors…
All I want is the data to appear in a single line rather than 2 lines. If I change the last print from println to print the data will be in continuous line and I will have to add line breaks myself.

#8

What about this one in the middle:

Serial.print(millis()/5000);
Serial.print(" “);
Serial.print (counter,0);
Serial.print(” “);
Serial.print(temperature_measurement(A1),1);
Serial.print(” “);
Serial.print( payload.room_temperature,0);
Serial.print(” “);
Serial.println(payload.humidity1,0);
Serial.print(” “);
Serial.print (counter,0);
Serial.print(” “);
Serial.print(temperature_measurement(A2),1);
Serial.print(” ");
Serial.println( payload.room_temperature1,0);

Nice catch - I missed that one earlier 8)

#10

Thanks. I thought the short line length was a limitation of the IDE but it was a limitation of the programmer. I have modified the sketch and it works as I need
