A simple multi-value serial plot tool for Arduino. Print readings for all your sensors to the serial console and automatically receive a plot graph for each sensor.
The format is very simple:
\031plotKey\031plotValue\n
The ASCII unit separator \031 is used to split the key and value of the plot. This control character is used instead of spaces, commas, etc so that they do not conflict with the value of the data and require complicated escaping rules.
Anything else written to the console is considered diagnostic log and will not be plotted.
Using the following Arduino sketch:
void setup()
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
int currentTemp = random(22, 45);
Serial.print("\031Temp\031");
Serial.println(currentTemp);
int currentPosition = random(0, 255);
Serial.print("\031Position\031");
Serial.println(currentPosition);
delay(1000);
}
Results the following printed to the serial port:
�Position�44
�Temp�22.00
�Position�44
�Temp�22.00
