Here's a short demo using the Arduino IDE's Serial Plotter for visualisation.

Could you be so kind as to post the actual generated code (or tell where I haven't looked if you already have).

Great to see Gemini working, I've not had a chance to try it so far. I currently use the 'inline' type of AI, where as you type code, it gives suggestions (Copilot does this, and I suspect Gemini does too). That requires some coding from me, but I like that, because usually I just want to be pushed in the right direction when I stray. (And also use the normal chatGPT sessions for generally querying things that need developing too).
