Hello,
I'm attempting to export serial data to Excel into different columns. Right now, my code allows for all the data to be exported as a .csv file into Excel with all data in the A Column; however, I'm wanting to import timestamps in Column A with Analog values in Column B. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
By the way, my current code is a modified version from the Arduino Cookbook (I'm very new to Processing and programming in general):
