Is this UI a web application or a console application?(link inside)
I found this thing on YouTube and want to make something like it.
here is its link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRigpQf5dRI&t=63s
What is this UI? I am confused by the way it looks. A web app or console app or something else? Any help would be appreciated!

Telemetry Dashboard for model rocket flight computers
Here is a little demo for a project I have been working on which uses serial communications from a flight computer and is then processed in Visual Studio in C#.

Edit: Please note that I am working on a 2nd version of the dashboard and is to be expected to release in mid-2024 with the Vega Series of the flight ...

Do you mean the Aduino editor?
no
this dashboard
(image in the thumbnail)
You linked to 1:03, which is just before it starts scrolling through code in the Arduino IDE?
no no
see the thing displaying the graph
graphs*
I can see something a bit blurry in the background of the thumbnail
Not in enough detail to try and guess what it's written in
That's the default winforms icon IIRC
But something simple like that you can do in most techs. Something webby, winforms, WPF, avalonia, etc etc
yeah, other guys pointed that out to me
Don't cross-post btw
Otherwise people waste effort answering stuff that's already been answered
Actually I just joined the server
that was my first post
You've posted here and in #chat
yeah
That's cross-posting
wasn't aware this server have a help group
sorry

I'm just saying, please don't post the same thing in multiple places (or if you do, link them together so people are aware), as a matter of principle. Most forums / chat systems ban it
sorry
you are seeing the code of that youtuber?

I have a microcontroller publishing data on Serial and I want to make graphs using it like the video did

but still I want to DIY it because I am really interested in C#

yes he did, and thanks to it I did understand its working.

I am trying to do something similar to this
I completed the microcontroller code

and now I am figuring out the UI with the help of helpful people like you.
actually, this guy runs a business kindof thing and I think that by the time he replies I will figure this and start working on it
and since I am interested in learning C#, the things I learn from here will be useful for me
By the way some other guy suggested to use FluentUI instead of winforms
what do you say about it?
fluentui is just a design, not a framework

WinUI? (The windows adaptation of FluentUI)
i suppose you could use that
thank you everyone
but can you tell me one more thing @Insire , is winforms having some limitations? because 2-3 devs here told to use something else instead of it
winforms has tons of limitations and many of them can be remedied by tons of work, compared to any of the xaml frameworks
if you want good looking UI, with less effort than winforms, choose something using xaml
for desktop: wpf, avalonia, winui and uno are options
or you can choose something that uses web stuff (html, css, js)
I want to go with WinUI for now
FWIW, I use OxyPlot for all of my graphing needs. It does the job well
will check it too
They replied. That software will be released by August

code will be released for free
I read the documentation. I think this is good for drawing statistical graphs.
and I think the ways of updating the plot when new data is published are not fast enough to support the new data coming after every 500 ms
or 0.5 Hz
What makes you think that?
I use it for real-time graphs updating every 30ms or so
wow
No library in the world is going to have trouble redrawing in 500ms
actually I saw this in the docs:
To update the plot, you must do one of the following alternatives:
Change the Model property of the PlotView control
Call Invalidate on the PlotView control
Call Invalidate on the PlotModel
so I that changing the models is going to be slow
The normal way is to just add some more points to the PlotModel, and call Invalidate to trigger a redraw
okay, I understand it now
But, nothing in the UI world takes 0.5s to render. Imagine how laggy your application would be
my application will need to plot sensor readings as line charts. After every incoming data packet is read, the plot must be extended. so in long time the amount of data to be rendered will increase so much to make the system slow
I could not find a way of just extending the lines of the graph
Is this still just conjecture?
Again I may be wrong
but if you could watch the video of the demonstration and see how the graphs change. You could understand what is my concern here
"just" extending a line on a graph is... Hard. Axes need to be redrawn, scales change, etc.
yes, indeed.
the timestamp arround 3:30 in the video
So it's often quicker to just re-calculate them and redraw. Unless you have maybe 10,000 or 100,000 points, I doubt you'll notice any delay. If you have more, you should probably be manually decimating them anyway
it wont be 100000 points, but I do want the graphs to update like in that video
no the dashboard
I'm not sure what else to say. I've done this plenty of times, with a little bit of intelligence it isn't a problem
Virtually any graphing library will handle 2Hz
okay
I will do some trials
