In this video I show a new version of the data logging and telemetry visualization tool that I have been developing. This tool makes it easy to visualize data received from an Arduino or any other microcontroller or FPGA.
I start with a demo showing an Arduino Uno connected to a microphone amp and microphone. The mic’s waveform is digitized by the Arduino, and shown on screen in four ways: as a simple line chart, as a fourier transform (DFT), as a waveform view (basically a long exposure photo of several DFTs) and as a waterfall view.
The second demo is of an STM32-based balancing robot. I show how the new quaternion visualization works and highlight some of the other new features in this version of my TelemetryViewer tool.
Then I show how to write an Arduino sketch to send your sensor readings to the PC. We go over how to connect to the serial port, define the data structure sent to the PC, and walk through all of the possible charts that can be used to visualize the data.
Finally I walk through the Java and JOGL source code so you can see how it works and modify it to fit your needs.
Each Monday is ArduinoMonday here at Adafruit! Be sure to check out our posts, tutorials and new Arduino related products. Adafruit manufactures the Arduino right here in the United States in cooperation with arduino.cc. We have a huge selection of Arduino accessories and all the code and tutorials to get you up and running in no time!
Adafruit publishes a wide range of writing and video content, including interviews and reporting on the maker market and the wider technology world. Our standards page is intended as a guide to best practices that Adafruit uses, as well as an outline of the ethical standards Adafruit aspires to. While Adafruit is not an independent journalistic institution, Adafruit strives to be a fair, informative, and positive voice within the community – check it out here: adafruit.com/editorialstandards
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
