Just curious if I am missing one in my search. Unfortuantly computer/arduino com is such a popular topic there is a ton of dead end results. I have sucesfully done a lot of com back and forth, but the code is always purpose built and does not quickly translate into new projects. I am about 10% of the way done w/ my own protocol, but it occurs to me there is no way this has not been done before. Most search results are for the computer to tell the arduino to do things. I ONLY want to recieve numerical data from the arduino to be displayed all pretty like on the computer. Mostly for visualizing code and sensors to help with debugging and design of all the odd projects I do. essentially I want to spit values from the arduino to the pc, and then plot/visualize them in some way. I have done this before, but never robustly.
TL:DR, is there a common library or methodology used for arduino to pc communication of data? I have very litle processign experience, arduino is my home, processing is a helpful debugger the way I currently see it, so I don't konw of all the great resources availble online just yet.
