Clearing the terminal screen?

Question

I'm reading data from 9 different sensors for my robot and I need to display them all steadily, in the same window so I can compare the values and see if any of the readings is off.

The problem I'm having with both Serial.print and lcd.print is that the values are constantly moving and I can't really have a good look at them while moving the robot.

I was thinking to call something like Serial.clear() before displaying anything else and that would just keep things steady and in one place, changing only the values.

From what I found so far, Serial.print(17,BYTE) for instance is no longer supported (Calling the ESC key).

So...for those with a bit more Arduino experience...what is the proper way to do this?

Answer 1

imprime en linea los datos con un espaciado determinado, así tendrás columnas de datos de la misma variable y será más claro

Print all data in line, so you have rows with the data you need, i just solve the same problem like this, just make sur you had asignad a constant data size and spacement between, I made this

Serial.print("cuenta q2: ");
Serial.print( cuenta_pulsos_encoder_1,3);
Serial.print("\t");
Serial.print(q2_real,4);
Serial.print("\t");
Serial.print("cuenta q3: ");
Serial.print( cuenta_pulsos_encoder_2,3);
Serial.print("\t");
Serial.print(q3_real,4);
Serial.print("\t");
Serial.print("cuenta q4: ");
Serial.print( cuenta_pulsos_encoder_3,3);
Serial.print("\t");
Serial.println(q4_real,4);

You could just do:

Serial.println("\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n");

or if you want:

for (int i=0; i<100; i++) {
   Serial.print("\n");
}
