I agree! UA-cam monetization changes a while back ruined youtube. Folks blab on for ten minutes about a 30 second topic. This was a GREAT video. 5 stars.
I was following the instructions that you were describing in your video. When i pressed the connect button it gave an error like "An error occured while attempting to open the port". how to give access to port?
Two thing you can try. 1. If any other program is using that port like arduino serial monitor, the program won't be able to connect to that port. 2. You might need to change the port in device settings.
I needed a time stamp correlated with my data, but when I turned that option on, the txt files columns get jumbled every once and and while, which makes processing the data difficult. In other words, when most of the file has two columns (time and data), there are a handful of lines when the time and data are placed within the first column. Any suggestions?
Hi I am also using CoolTerm for serial capturing, but I wonder if it is possible to have timestamps as precise as the arduino monitor. The current CoolTerm timestamps has the form of HH:MM:SS, the Arduino monitor gives HH:MM:SS.sss. Thanks
Right now I'm using idle, it get automatically installed when you install python. It's not the most useful software to be using but it can still do everything and I find it the least demanding for my computer.
Thank you for tutorial! Really helpful! Just a quick question, the output data seem to be raw data, is there any chances to let CoolTerm run the Arduino code, so I can do some pre-processing? Thanks in advance for answering!
Not with CoolTerm. the arduino basically uses C/C++ so you might be able to find a program to run the code but you'll need to find a library to open serial communication. If your conformable with python I made a video on this topic - ua-cam.com/video/Lm_xfm1d5h0/v-deo.html
Hey, is the data saved in the txt file or is it just written there? I need the data to be written in a txt file but also update the file, without needing to save manualy.
My shcool project, i have an arduino and a rfid captor, when i pass the card, arduino send the card's id to CoolTerm and create a txt file, python opened the txt file and read the id, i'm connected to a mysql database, i use the id like a variable, when CoolTerm write the id, the sql data base print nothing but python print the id, when i write myself the id in the txt file, it's work, have you got a idea ? I'm french sorry for my bad english ;-)
@@nairod2067 hey i had the same problem but i was using raspberry Pi so what i did on CoolTerm is i went to option/receive then unchecked "Leave file open while capturing" then on Arduino i change the code i replaced this Serial.println(a); //with twoo lines Serial.println(); Serial.print(a); that will work
you can't send data from file to arduino using coolterm. you might be able to find another application, I'm looking for one myself but cant really find one. if your conftorable with python you might be able to write your own program. just open a txt file and send data using serial.
Doesn't work well. It's loosing connection all the time. Better is to use Putty. It can be used not only for SSH/Telnet connection to remote device but on serial port as well.
I like your shorter than 10 minutes video formats.
Your information is consise, and we'll presented.
Thanks for all your efforts.

This was awesome!
You'r really good at keeping things simple and straight to the point.
I learned a lot, thanks for helping!
actually just worked, rare occasion for me thanks
you saved my day!!! Straight to the point and simple
Broo you're awesome, this one is way better than using sd card module, cause sd library drains a lot of memory is sucks, thanks!
Does the Arduino have to be connected to a laptop when you want to store data like this?

Try closing the serial monitor in arduino
@@TabletopRoboticsHow does the time appear?
hi, Can I send txt file to the serial minitor with the cooltem? Help me abuot that ...
Useful and straight foreward, good video, thanks.
It's great. You can also send them from a file.
how to overwrite serial data?. I need only the last raw data
I needed a time stamp correlated with my data, but when I turned that option on, the txt files columns get jumbled every once and and while, which makes processing the data difficult.

I want timestamp too
hola una duda como podría crear distintos txt por día y guardar la misma información de cada día en esos archivos que se vayan creando cada día
thank you for this video 🙏saved our project we love you
Great video! This program is what I was looking for. Easy and free. Thanks
got that bro thanks! i was using Putty, its unreasonably complex

Two things, what python development software are you using and thank you for suggesting CoolTerm, easy and simple to use!
Right now I'm using idle, it get automatically installed when you install python. It's not the most useful software to be using but it can still do everything and I find it the least demanding for my computer.
i use JetBrains Pycharm Community Edition it works very well and im going to try it on Geany via raspberry Pi
raspberry Pi Geany works well but you need to change few thinks in your code
i have a problem with python 3 but it works well with python 2

ok the problem is when cool term run the capture it dosn't work but when i stop the capture and save the txt file it's work... how to fix it ?
when it's capturing to txt file it dosn't work but send to text file worked, how to do automaticly, sry i waste your time
i found the option "Leave File open while capturing" but it doesn't change anything
@@nairod2067 hey i had the same problem but i was using raspberry Pi so what i did on CoolTerm is i went to option/receive then unchecked "Leave file open while capturing" then on Arduino i change the code i replaced this

Serial.println();
Serial.print(a);
that will work
I want to send the datas to excel , please help me how can i do
Very good stuff. Thank you.
Thank you, great, great video man!
Tq mate this helped a lot ❤️
it says access denied by port pls help
After deploying the code into Arduino, close the Arduino IDE and then connect the CoolTerm.
Kenapa jam tidak tersimpan
Great it works. Thank You.
thank you this application is very helpful
Thanks for the comment, but although I made the video the real thanks goes to Roger Meier he's the one who made the application.
I got port busy please how to fix it ?
First make sure that the arduino serial monitor and plotter are closed. If they are open it will cause the port to be busy.
@@TabletopRobotics ok i fix the problem thanks a lot !
Parabéns, excelente programa.
I want reverse how can do it?

Thank u!.. Its working well
You can read serial data directly from python code mate.I tell ya just in case
Very very thanks .I am Bangladesh
thanx its help me ✌️
awesome! I find the info i need.
Doesn’t work for me
How to save data just every 1 hour?
Really helpful
thanks, helped alot
ive been looking for this finally my supper hero Tabletop Robotics came to the rescue!!!!......... expect subscribe and like from me
Whoa - it worked for me too! Something must be wrong.
Great...Thanks.
