hello! i am kind of new with godot and this is not an issue really but a question. From the plugin window i can see that the data is arriving but i can't understand how i can access the data from my code to use it.

Hello! Sorry for late answer! GLad to hear you gave my plugin a try :)

If you look inside MenuLogic.gd @ row 43

For every physics loop I read from the PORT as a string to insert it into the text label

So the Arduino will send a continuous stream of information. You will have to read it and separate it into variables. You could for example add a start and end token in your messages to be able to determine where a variable starts and ends
