Hi everybody
I'm completely new to Arduino and I need your help.
I'm Building a digital scale using Arduino, and that scale supposed to send data to excel to be processed further THROUGH using the daq-plx.
as for the moment don't have the real board and building the circuit solely on Tinkercad .
Are there anyway to connect the serial Monitor of Tinkercad to the daq-plx to simulate the real thing .
Excel running the PLX-DAQ macro collects data via a real or virtual serial port on the PC and stores the data in a spreadsheet.
Usually that is a physical, wired serial connection of some sort between a Arduino board and whatever computer is running Excel.
So , You want to Say it's not possible to use the PLX-DAQ with the Arduino simulator
No, that is not what I "want to Say".
Then, could you please tell me how to use the PLX-DAQ with the Arduino simulator of any sort.
I imagine that you could select/copy output data from the Arduino simulator monitor window, and paste it into a terminal program, to send via serial to another PC running Excel.
On the other hand, why do you want to simulate such a data exchange? It simply works, if you follow the rules.
I think you are trying to make things more difficult than they really are. PLX has nothing to do with Arduino, and everything to do with Excel. Arduino just sends data to it's serial port irrespective of the intended destination, and doesn't manipulate it for benefit of Excel. This means that you can read it in the monitor just like any other data.
