With either the Arduino or the CircuitPython code running on the Trinkey QT2040, the data is being sent out via a USB CDC serial port. This data can be received by anything that can open and talk to the serial port. Here we provide an example using Python and pySerial.
Install pySerial
The pySerial module is used to open and read from the serial port in Python. If this module is not already installed on your setup, go here:
Which Serial Port?
The Arduino example sends out data using the typical Serial.print() command. This serial port should show up in the place you'd look for the Arduino Serial Monitor.
The CircuitPython example uses a secondary serial port and data is sent using usb_cdc.data.write(). This is different than the serial port where print() output shows up. There should be two serial ports that show up when running the CircuitPython example. The data is most likely on the second one.
