MakerPlot has been called Graphical Data Acquisition and Control for your Microcontroller and Imagination due to the powerful interactions available between the micro's firmware and the PC software.
With dozens of meters, buttons, switches and text boxes you have full control of the screen interface design and how information is displayed, plotted, logged to files, printed, and more.
Your microcontroller also has the ability to read information directly from the interfaces for interactive measurement, plotting, and control.
The ability to design a customized GUI interface for monitoring your data combined with the ability to program your microcontroller to interface directly and simply with the GUI is a powerful combination for a developer.
It was named MakerPlot for those “Makers” desiring to create simple yet powerful interfaces for their projects and products, either for monitoring data and/or with control actions that affect the GUI and a user's experience with it.
But there’s much more to MakerPlot than that…
MakerPlot is compatible with most popular microcontrollers that output serial asynchronous data at standard Baud rates in the conventional RS-232 format including serial-to-USB devices like those from FTDI and MicroChip. These include Arduino® shields, PIC®, PicAXE®, Basic Stamp®, Propeller®, BasicX®, Intel, Motorola, TI, et al. And there's no proprietary hardware required.
