4.5 Data acquisition
Open the Serial Monitor window.
[Tools]-[Serial Monitor]
Data is displayed in the Serial Monitor window.
The communication speed of the Serial Monitor should be 115200 baud.
The data display shows R(voltage), G(voltage), B(voltage), R(ratio), G(ratio), and B(ratio) in order from
left to right. R(ratio), G(ratio), and B(ratio) show the ratio of each RGB output voltage when the highest
value among the RGB output voltage values is 100%.
