simple windows client

we need a simple windows gui for showing the readings from the sensor

Hi,

Firstly, this is a cool project!

You can use the C# library for creating a simple windows GUI. ADC reading features are working at the moment. You can look up the ADC plot example with the C#

Also, you can use the Processing library for creating more simpler GUI. You can read about the Processing from http://processing.org There is an example for plotting ADC values in Processing as well.

By the way, what is the reliability of the internal temp. sensor? Have you done any comprehensive tests?

ihsan.

Hi kehribar! It here an email address I can reach you on?
I can see, that Processing is actually based on Java and I would really want to base the GUI on something very portable ... like Java :) - so I/we will either port Processing library to Java, or if that is not really viable create a new library for Java. Besides that - I really want to have an extremely simple app for windows to show actual reading from the sensor. The on-board sensor is extremely inaccurate - can have up to 2 deg. celsius offset (of continuous readings), and has a terrible resolution - one ADC unit represents one degreecelsius - and that is very sketchy, but it will work great as an extremely on-budget temp meter. Please send me your email address and I will write more.

Hi,

My mail address is available at almost every source code that i wrote :) I prefer discussing over GitHub, since those information are available publicly.

Yes, Processing is based on Java, and my library is a pure Java library. I don't actively write Java, so i don't know how you can use it in a special Java app but i advise you to use Processing IDE for creating simple IDE. They have graphic libraries etc. available. Also you can export your application in .jar file as well in Processing.

On the other hand the libusb wrapper that i use for LittleWire library is Windows compatible only. Therefore, you can't benefit from the portability of the Java because of that restriction.

I suspected that inaccuracy for the internal sensor... You might want to use simple analog temp. sensors like LM35. It has 10mv / 1 celcius accucay. LM35 is very easy to use.
