Adding date and time stamp to create writer

Processing Electronics (Arduino, etc.)
1

Hi All,

I am new to processing 4.3, so please forgive me if what I am asking is very basic. I have been programming using Adruino IDE for some time now and have come across and interesting project in the link below:

What I would like to do is output the incoming serial data into to a file that I can import into Excel. Along with this I would like each line of data to have a date and time stamp.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Steve

The last time I did something like this I believe I used comma separated values, ie ‘csv’. Save data to a file named ‘myData.csv’ and then import into Excel. (It’s been a while, but to the best of my recollection.) Hardware needs to have microSD to store data.

Hi @SteveH, Have a look at this post and maybe other parts of the (long) topic. I think it has all you want to get date and time on your text lines.
