Intel Galileo supports a lot of sensors.
Unfortunately the way to monitor the output of the sensors ( the values) is to code a program that reads them and then prints them on to the console.
I decided to create a desktop application that is able to visualize the output of the different sensors simultaneously without having the need to program and figure out how to read the analog pins from the Intel Galileo board. In this demo , I'm showing 3 different sensors being read and graphed at the same time(light, sound , variable resistor) .
I believe this would be useful for people who want to constantly monitor their sensors during a project they are building and don't want to waste time programming something to do that.
This can also be useful for people who don't know much coding and want to pick up- for example- a temperature sensor and start measuring temperature of things.
The application supports - start, pause, continue and restart options of taking the readings.
The applications supports painting/highlighting area under graph for visualizing data that represents things like volume or distance traveled.
When you stop the readings, the application exports a csv (excel) file for any future references.
The application was written using the processing programming language.
Seeing as the libraries that are available online do not support all the functionalities I wanted, I decided to write the graphing from the bottom up. I literally wrote processing code to draw lines from an (x,y) coordinate to another (x,y) coordinate and to draw the axis and other necessary information.
