Hello everyone,

i am running an application on a pi pico 2350 which is gathering data at around 3.6kHz. Those data arrive on my pc on /dev/ttyACM\*, encoded in base64. I’m wondering if there is a “scope tool” in scilab/xcos to watch them live, with cursors, data export, zoom in and out, stop, start …. ?

All hints are very welcome. Thanks in advance,

kaffeesurrogat

ups … i’m using linux … 😉
