Does anyone know a program where you can have the PIC send a series of numbers and have it plot those points onto a graph? Better yet, I am trying to make a data aquisition unit with a PIC. Any ideas as to what I can use?

Thanks,

Chris

If you want to draw graph with a PIC, almost GLCD (graphic LCD) would do the job. There's some PicBasic code example for some GLCD controller at the following link

i'd never use any part of their code but we already heard some good comments here. They also provide some software to create your own screen.

Now if you want to send your data to a PC and plot your graph... EXCEL could work, or any other programming language you're comfortable with (Visual c++, Visual Basic,... Assembler... )

If you want to go the exel route try StampDAQ. Its a premade solution that uses a set of serial commands to send data to a host pc.
