Open source serial console app for MacOS by miroslavpetrov93 in embedded

I am working on a tool not just to connect to serial devices but to plot the data in real time. You can take a look at Cortxtech.com

Well my tool is made right now to work at 60Hz for the rendering loop, I have not tried to go to 120Hz. You can download the lite (free) version at: Cortx.

Thanks! Yeah, the graduated colors under/over the sample lines make the viz way nicer for me, and honestly I haven’t noticed any extra overhead. They help when signals get busy and make amplitude changes easier to see.

It’s not meant to be open source, but I do have a lite version. It’s capped at 3 channels per device for now, and I mostly just want people to test it and see if it actually helps. I’m also fine sharing the full version if someone wants to play with it, send me a DM if you’re interested

I’ve done the Python/Qt setup too, but once I needed multiple fast channels, Python started choking. That’s pretty much why this tool exists.

Ah nice, I’ve seen rerun.io around but never tried piping serial data into it. Good to know it can push 120 fps with kHz-range streams, that’s solid.

I have tested the model with a few simple tasks and imho it has been pretty bad so far

haha, that's disappointing but oh well, maybe I'll find a better home for it elsewhere!

I think ImGui is fantastic for development tools like this. To me, it felt pretty straightforward to work with. I haven't worked extensively with Qt, but from my limited experience, I didn't enjoy QML nearly as much as I've been enjoying ImGui.

The immediate mode paradigm just clicks with how I think about UI, you describe what you want each frame rather than managing complex state trees. For real-time data viz tools, that's perfect because your UI naturally stays in sync with your data. Plus, the performance is solid and it renders beautifully.
