I would like to capture the data from the counter and display it in some basic way for the screen using a program written in Python or perhaps using Microsoft Makecode. I teach at a high school and would like to give this to the physics teacher for that purpose. I have ordered the proper FTDI-232-R-3V3 cable suggested, how do I interpret any data that comes from the serial port when the geiger counter is connected to the USB port and a terminal program opened to capture the input? Is it in readable text strings?
Thank you,
