Section 9.7 Method 6 - Logging Data via Serial

Yet another method to log data is using the same serial communication that is used in Mu (See Chapter 12). In this case you need your laptop just like method 1 and 2 but you forgo having to copy and paste the Serial monitor yourself. In this method you would have a program on your computer that automatically reads the serial output from the CPX and saves that to a text file. It reduces the complexity of the CircuitPython code and allows you to focus on the experiment while your computer handles logging data.
