    Hello.
    Dear all, I would like to ask you a question regarding the communication between esp32, esp8266 and an object design program in c. I would like to build a program in c which would collect data from the microcontroller and gather reports from the sensors. This would then be displayed as graphs etc.
    What free program do you recommend?
    Thank you in advance.
    Code: C / C++
    Log in, to see the code

    I've never tried this sort of thing but I can recommend that you check out c builder it's quite easy to use yet advanced and there's a good chance it's up to the task

    It has to display in a dialog box, save as txt. in a folder. Builder c is paid and the promotion for 6 is over :( I am thinking about visual studio code but I have no idea what plug-in and how ....

    Data sent via WLAN or RS232 ?

    I would like to use WLAN, but as a last resort I am left with RS232.

    Back in the days of Windows XP, it was possible to implement using Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 , but I don't know if this is still current.

    You are thinking well :) Which plug-in specifically are you referring to. For ESP programming?

    I don't think that's the point.
    The author's intention is to receive the dates from the sensors and save them as files, to then read them and either tabulate or graphically display them in a dialog box.
    I'm not sure, but most likely something like this:

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around selecting a suitable program to collect data from microcontrollers, specifically the ESP32 and ESP8266, using C programming. The user seeks a free solution to display sensor data in a dialog box and save it as text files. Recommendations include C Builder, although it is a paid option, and Visual Studio Code, with inquiries about necessary plugins for ESP programming. The communication method preferred is WLAN, with RS232 as a backup. The goal is to gather sensor data and present it graphically or in tabulated form.
