MENYIMPAN DATA SERIAL MONITOR ARDUINO IDE KE EXCEL MENGGUNAKAN DATA STREAMER

Introduction

In this tutorial, you will learn how to save data from the Arduino Serial Monitor directly into an Excel spreadsheet using the Data Streamer tool. This process is useful for data logging, analysis, and visualization, making it an essential skill for anyone working with Arduino projects.

Step 1: Set Up Your Arduino Environment

1. Install Arduino IDE

   • Download and install the Arduino IDE from the official Arduino website.

2. Connect Your Arduino Board

   • Plug your Arduino board (like Arduino Uno) into your computer via USB.

3. Select the Correct Board and Port

   • Open the Arduino IDE.
   • Navigate to Tools > Board and select your Arduino model.
   • Go to Tools > Port and choose the port your Arduino is connected to.

Step 2: Write the Arduino Code

1. Open a New Sketch

   • In the Arduino IDE, create a new sketch.

2. Use the Following Code Sample

   • This code will send data to the Serial Monitor.

   void setup() {
       Serial.begin(9600); // Start serial communication at 9600 baud rate
   }
   
   void loop() {
       int sensorValue = analogRead(A0); // Read from an analog sensor
       Serial.println(sensorValue); // Print the value to Serial Monitor
       delay(1000); // Wait for 1 second
   }
   

3. Upload the Code

   • Click on the upload button (right arrow icon) in the Arduino IDE to upload the code to your board.

Step 3: Open Serial Monitor

1. Access Serial Monitor

   • After uploading, open the Serial Monitor by clicking on the magnifying glass icon or by navigating to Tools > Serial Monitor.

2. Check Data Output

   • Ensure that the data is being printed correctly. You should see a stream of numbers in the Serial Monitor.

Step 4: Set Up Data Streamer in Excel

1. Open Microsoft Excel

   • Launch Excel on your computer.

2. Enable Data Streamer

   • If you’re using Excel 365, go to the Insert tab and find Data Streamer.
   • If it's not available, ensure you have the latest version of Excel.

3. Connect to Arduino

   • In Excel, click on Data Streamer and select Connect.
   • Choose the correct COM port that corresponds to your Arduino.

Step 5: Start Streaming Data to Excel

1. Begin Data Stream

   • Click on the Start Streaming button in Excel.
   • The data from the Arduino Serial Monitor should now flow into Excel in real-time.

2. View and Analyze Data

   • You can now view the incoming data in Excel and use its features to analyze or visualize the data.

Conclusion

You have successfully set up a system to log data from the Arduino Serial Monitor into an Excel spreadsheet using Data Streamer. This method is particularly useful for monitoring sensor data, performing real-time analysis, and creating visual representations of your data. As a next step, consider experimenting with different sensors or data types to enhance your projects further.
