Arv,

Thanks for posting.

Can you explain the reason for this line in your code?

Serial.println("\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"); // fake screen clear

I'm wondering if it had anything to do with having issues with re-printing data on the same line in a terminal. I wrote something in the Arduino environment that displayed data every second, and using the Arduino serial monitor it properly kept things on the same line, but no matter what I tried using a regular terminal emulator (like putty) I couldn't get the same result.

Thanks
