A cool tool for observing/plotting serial data

[sarbog]

Here is a cool tool I found useful for observing and plotting serial data from my LittleBrainPlusPlus STM32F411 board with a barometric pressure sensor.

Here's another cool tool for plotting timeseries:

Very cool!  Thankyou.

rrdtool is also worth checking out, especially for long term data collection.

Its often used for collecting network data, but is quite general.

Can you point me to documentation for the serial protocol (that an mcu has to send)?
I found the doxygen internal code documentation but was looking for a 5min tut really :-)

[sarbog]

For Serial Studio the mcu should start a frame with /* and end with */ and the data values separated by ','

Here is an example

uint8_t  usbBuf[64];
uint16_t usbBufLen;
   
usbBufLen = (uint16_t) snprintf(usbBuf, 64, "/*%.2f, %.2f, %.2f*/\r",  rawPressure_Pa, procPressure_Pa, procRelAltitude_m);
CDC_Transmit_FS(usbBuf,usbBufLen);

It will look like

/* 40125.34, 40125.21, 0.15 */

Thanks sarbog, ...and I've now found the relevant documentation also...
