Setup Data Logging Pipeline #3

Closed addem26 closed 3 years ago

addem26 commented 3 years ago

There are different libraries that allow python scripts to interface with CSV files. Initially focus can be placed on sending data to a CSV file and plotting it afterward. It would be nice if we could read data from the sensors and plot it in real time during the exercise. This will be especially helpful during the debugging and fine tuning phase of control algorithms and parameters. This can also be done through a library that allows python to interface with the Serial output of the Arduino. Plotting can be done with matplotlib. Some good reach goals can be embedding plots inside of interactive GUI that takes in input for ROM, speed, and reps.

Below is an example of communicating with the Arduino: https://www.google.com/amp/s/toptechboy.com/python-with-arduino-lesson-11-plotting-and-graphing-live-data-from-arduino-with-matplotlib/

Lastly, below is an example of embedding plots inside of tkinter gui's: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8exB6Ly3nx0

Current working files: basic live plotting graph based on DHTsensor (only thing I have at the moment)

Currently: Working on integrating the live plotting graph into Tkinter so we can make it interactive.

Wednesday: getting the SD card module and can implement the data storage pipeline. Found this website that could be useful: Writing CSV files to SD card
