Import Data from non-configurable serial devices
Posted: Thu Apr 15, 2021 3:22 pm
Hello!
I have a load cell that I am using to collect data from a testing fixture, I am using (and loving) megunolink for controlling the fixture and graphing the results, but I would love to be able to import the serial data from the load cell into my design - the load cell sends its readings over serial at a defined baudrate with the following format:
"+0.3581 lbs\n"
I can fairly easily plot this over the Arduino serial plotter, and I can see it on the serial monitor in MegunoLink, but I would much prefer MegunoLink's plotting setup, which allows for alot more configuration - and ideally I would like my controller (ESP-32 based) to be able to start and stop the data collection/plotting over this additional serial port and save graphs of each result.
Is there a way to do any of this?
Thank you!
