displaying data from serial port

[Adrian Godwin]

The recent extensions to the arduino plotter are useful and very welcome. It's especially good that it requires almost no work to get a meaningful display. However, the autoscaling of all data identically sometimes causes some streams to get lost or be difficult to read.

This utility (not my work) allows use of the same format (a simple csv line) to build extensive dashboards with whatever format is required. The format data can either be included in the stream or provided on the host with a separate file. This means that it can be used for more complex datasets with little or no change to the arduino side.

It would still be necessary to close the Arduino use of the serial port and allow SerialStudio to open it. This is trivial in most uses but less convenient when flipping between live data and programming.

Would it be possible to have the Arduino IDE offer generic access to the serial port by external programs when it shifts mode, rather than just the Monitor and Plotter options ?

Adrian,
there exist serial splitting software like - https://www.eltima.com/products/serialsplitter/
might do the trick you are looking for.
