    @TheGuywithTheHat - unfortunately on any other SO site the question would likely be instantly flushed here without a read for merely mentioning "Arduino". I would agree that the question pertains to embedded systems in general, but the poster may not know that - part of what answers may need to do is explain what the Arduino Serial Monitor is doing and that the solution is likely not to claim data from that, but rather get data from the same source it does.

  • @ChrisStratton I would love to learn more about what you are saying. The problem with the internet is there it's too much information and funding something useful is difficult unless you know what you ate looking for... So if you can suggest things I can read to increase my knowledge about arduino or embedded systems in general please do so. Also I would like to learn more about the hardware side of things (For instance what it means to connect a device serially to the computer) and a little more about how it works. Please suggest good sources if possible. Commented Oct 12, 2014 at 19:07
