Smart Systems - New Idea

Now that I have abandoned my curved PCB idea I am moving on to another idea that I have had.
One of the biggest frustrations with programming arduino is the lack of feedback from the more complex analogue sensors. Programmers find themselves staring at streams of numbers coming from the serial console trying to make sense of the data at the rate it is coming in (and at the rate that they can process it).

There is clearly a need for a program that graphs the pin data from an arduino so that the hardware developer can easily make informed decisions on how to handle the information that the input device they are trying to interface.

This program should make it easier for developers to interface the notoriously difficult sensors such as gas, magnetometer and accelerometer sensors. The brief is to make a hardware device to assist people in working with electronic hardware, and this program should meet the brief as it will require a hardware component to interface the sensor.
