Hi,

A nice ( free ! ) project to plot DATA transmitted by your RS232 port ...

Hi Alain,
That looks like a nifty tool. I must be stupid though because I can't seem to find how to actually download the application. I find the source files but they aren't in PBP so I have no use for them ;-)

Can you point me in the right direction?

/Henrik.

Hi, Henrik

looks once you've created and saved your config file ( one shown as an exemple ) within serialchart ...



[_setup_]
port=COM2
baudrate=57600

width=1000
height=201
background_color = white

grid_h_origin = 100
grid_h_step = 10
grid_h_color = #EEE
grid_h_origin_color = #CCC

grid_v_origin = 0
grid_v_step = 10
grid_v_color = #EEE
grid_v_origin_color = transparent

[_default_]
min=-1
max=1

[interval]
color=transparent
min=0
max=100000

[RwAcc]
color=blue

[RwEst]
color=red

[RwGyro]
color=transparent

[GyroRate]
color=transparent
min=-10
max=10


[an3]
color=transparent
min=0
max=1023





This is an exemple to paste into the config window ... and save !!!

you just launch it ... ( The green arrow ...)

The Pic program only sends data through the serial port, so ... I think you do not need a tutorial for some " debug " or " serout " PBP command.

Regards
Alain

It took me about half an hour to find it. I still don't see a place to download it from google, where one would think the software would be..... But it looks to be a good find. Thanks Alain!

Here it is to save someone else the trouble. Unfortunately too big to post the zip on our forum.

Alain,
Thanks, I get that, no problem but before I can enter the cofiguration information and hit the green arrow I need to actually download and install the application - and that is what I'm having problem with. I couldn't find where to actually download the thing.

scalerobotics,
Thank you, I'll grab it from there!
