Is there a visualizer that's just showing incoming serial values. The serial monitor can't be configured. I want just show some bigger digits.

Hi Joe, maybe a text box in the interface panel configured to have a large font?

How can I get the serial messages to the text box?

Hi Joe, check out this example in our Arduino library.
https://github.com/Megunolink/MLP/tree/ ... /SendToMLP

If you look on line 40 of this file you can see the textbox named "Status" is being set to display "Start".
https://github.com/Megunolink/MLP/blob/ ... dToMLP.ino

The only other thing to remember is that when constructing the interface panel you need to drop in a MLPUIMessageProcessor from the toolbox in the interface designer. This page has more clues for doing that
http://www.megunolink.com/documentation ... ace-panel/

Once you add your text boxes and MLPUIMessageProcessor you should be able to update them from the Arduino.

Hope this helps
Phil

OK got it.... But how to show values from a variable? The documentation only shows text strings.
