Simple Data Logger PC Software for Arduino

Projects General Guidance
1

Hi guys! Our project uses Arduino and Android app. The android app will send a data to the arduino (ie. 305) then the Arduino will reply back with the correct data (ie. 305 - go to the right 10 steps and 5 steps left). We need to record the Time the data is requested and the data being requested (ie. Location - "305" Time - "2:45pm"). The data logger must be real time that after the arduino reply, the data will be automatically recorded to the computer. It is like a "log book" style.
Can anyone know a simple PC data logger for arduino?

Are you looking for an Android app or a PC app - and if for a PC, what operating system are you using.

Why not just record the time when the data is sent to the Arduino? It sounds like it just sends the same data back - and there should be very little delay between sending and receiving.

I think you just use RealTerm for that. It uses the PC clock for local timestamping.

hi sir!

yes, we need a PC application. It still applicable sir, if we use the time the data is sent to the arduino :).
we need a PC application that recordsthe "Time" and "Data" that is sent to the arduino. do you know any PC application?

RealTerm? okay sir, i'll research that :slight_smile:

You need to be more clear about your intentions. What I understood was that data would be fed to the PC, and in that event, RealTerm can receive the data and timestamp it. I don't think RealTerm would be able to to send time signals to Arduino, and one would have to wonder why you would want to do that anyway.

If you are looking for a PC application I don't understand why you mentioned Android in your first post. What operating system is on the PC you plan to use?

This demo shows how you can communicate between an Arduino and a PC using a program on the PC written in Python.

sorry for the confusion :slight_smile:

our operating OS will be windowsXP or windows 7 :slight_smile:

To be simple. we need a real time simple data logger software in the PC. The arduino will send a string of data to the PC using serial. The data will be recorded with a timestamp.

Sounds like time to read reply #2 - again...
