Recommended Visualisation Tool?

The main Open Source Arduino Debugger Extensibility Pack - Visualizations page reads:

Quote:
Adding a visualization that can watch for any debugger expressions takes just a few minutes. Download any open source .NET instrument control from sites such as CodeProject and register it as a visual studio arduino visualization.


Which visualisation (UK) / visualization (US) tool do you recommend?

Thank you.

Hi, there is not a UK or US option here. Visualizations that we refer to are windows such as Analog Pin Graph, Memory Usage Graph, various gauge controls such as the ones shown in the screen shot on the debugger page.

Visual Micro supports standard C# or VB. NET controls such as forms or user controls.

Example: You might create a simple visualization that is just a TextBox that shows a running status or some variable data from the Arduino.

So for Visual Micro, a visualization is a simple thing and some crude initial examples are installed under the program files\visual micro\extensions folder. 

After you design your control it is placed in a "known" location such as vm folder\extensions with a small xml file that is used to control certain runtime debugger settings.

This area of visual micro has not been explorer by anyone yet (as far as I know). I would suggest tweaking the existing examples to see how they work.

The BUG button on the serial monitor will show any visualizaions that have been activated via the xml config that you will see in each visualization folder

It is very easy to create your own visualizations. They are all open source. The ones installed with visual micro also need cleanup and re-work. 

If you do please submit them by email and we will add them to a library or the main installer.

If you need help then please ask

Thanks very much
