Digging on Xojo. It took me less than an hour to whip together a crude prototype that let me achieve four goals:

Pick an Arduino (or any serial device) from a list of COM ports.Connect/disconnect on the fly.Read data from the analog pins on the Arduino.Send commands to toggle the LEDs. Save the analog data coming in from the serial port to a CSV file locally on the computer.Have the application as native apps for Windows, MacOS, and Linux. A higher tier of Xojo even lets you export to a web app and iOS app.

You can get a free copy of Xojo if you are deploying to a Raspberry Pi! Grab your copy here https://www.xojo.com/

You can grab my code from GitHub: https://github.com/GreenShoeGarage/ArduinoXojoSerialCommsExample

There are three subfolder under the “Software” folder:

“Arduino Firmware”: Contains the .ino file that can be edited and flashed to your Arduino“Xojo Project”: The raw Xojo project file that can be edited to meet your needs“Windows Executable”: A .exe file that can be ran on a Windows 10 machine.

Word of Warning: This code is provided as-is. It is experimental and not fully tested. Use at your own risk, and do NOT use for any production or other critical applications. You have been warned!
