Now, for many applications, we want to collect data at a constant interval. I wrote all my codes using double so take note that they are exactly the same as a float data type. There’s also the double data type that is usually 8 bytes long, but for the Arduino system, a double is exactly the same as a float (except for Arduino Due where it is 8 bytes) so it is also made up of 4 bytes. So without further ado, lets start off with the Arduino’s code.įor Arduino, an int data type is made up of 2 bytes, and a float data type is made up of 4 bytes. In addition, I have limited the scope of this post to just sending float and int data types since these 2 data types will be sufficient for most applications. We will use the data from a potentiometer as an example for the code below since it involves only a simple analogRead(). For those of you who are interested, here’s an excellent article about serial communication. There’s no need to know how the protocol works in order for us to accomplish what we are going to do here so let us just ignore it for now. A serial connection is basically a protocol that specifies how the messages are going to be sent. In this section, we will focus on sending data from the Arduino to the computer over a serial connection, and then plotting it with Python.
