	== ~~Windows (and Linux)~~ ==		== Basebot data ==

	~~==== Arduino IDE ====~~		Basebot data needs to be saved into a file to make it usable for MATLAB.

	~~I couldn~~'~~t find a way to save~~ the ~~serial~~ monitor ~~data to a disk file~~.		A log is available after a basebot run.
			E.g. by typing ''start'' in the monitor area or by pressing the ''start' button on the robot itself.

	~~So find another app that allows communication in~~ the ~~serial line and save~~ the ~~output to a disk file (or allow copy-paste~~ to do the ~~same)~~.		The logfile will be sent when the mission is complete, or alternatively by sending the command ''log'' to the robot.

	==~~== Visual Studio Code ==~~==		== Arduino IDE ==

	~~From~~ the ~~menu: View -> Command Palette ->~~		I couldn't find a way to save the serial monitor data to a disk file.
	~~Type PlatformIO: New Terminal~~

	~~(next time, this command will be first~~ in line)		So find another app that allows communication in the serial line and save the output to a disk file (or allow copy-paste to do the same).

	~~In this terminal type~~

	~~pio device monitor > aaa.txt~~		== Visual Studio Code ==

	~~It will try to open~~ the ~~communication and save it to~~ the ''~~aaa.txt~~'' ~~file.~~		In the monitor area the log data is shown (e.g. after typing ''log''), like:

	~~Try pressing the ''start'' button on the robot (wheels up).~~		[[file: VS-Code-data-from-monitor.png \| 500px]]
	~~Then press ctrl~~-~~C to stop the monitoring and inspect the file~~.

	~~[[file:MS_Visual_studio_code_device_monitor~~.~~png \| 500px]]~~		The data received in the monitor area will be saved to a ''logs'' directory on the ''basebot'' directory.

	~~(the same for both Windows and Linux)~~		[[file: VS-Code-data-from-monitor-file.png \| 500px]]
