I have noticed that there are a lot of questions that are like "How can I make my Arduino send data to my R program?" "How can I make my Arduino send data to my C++ program?" "How can I make my Arduino send data to my Processing program?" "How can I make my Arduino send data to my Matlab program?"
Because the Arduino part of the question is almost always the same (How can I make my Arduino send data to a computer), should we make a canonical "How to send data using serial?" question, and close others as off-topic?
